State Leaders Join the Celebrations

In Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath posted a heartfelt message. He poetically describes Raksha Bandhan as ‘the sacred knot of affection, the silent vow of trust, the vibrant expression of the unbreakable love between brother and sister’.

“Heartfelt congratulations to the people of the state on Rakshabandhan! The delicate thread of the Raksha Sutra does not merely tie the wrist; it binds the soul. It weaves an eternal saga of dignity and intimacy in every era,” he posted.

His remarks, translated from Hindi, captured the deep emotional symbolism of the festival.

Cultural & Religious Significance

Indians celebrate Raksha Bandhan with devotion and joy on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Sawan. Rooted in Hindu tradition, the festival goes beyond a simple exchange of threads. It is a reaffirmation of mutual respect, protection, and unconditional love between siblings.

Families come together for the ritual of tying the Rakhi, a decorated thread, around the brother’s wrist. They also offer prayers for his well-being.

In return, brothers pledge to protect their sisters, symbolising the mutual care and responsibility at the heart of this bond.

This year’s Raksha Bandhan once again highlighted the shared values of unity, affection, and trust that transcend regional boundaries.

The Prime Minister’s and other leaders’ messages highlighted the importance of cultural traditions. These traditions continue to unite the nation in celebration and mutual respect.
