Raksha Bandhan is not only about the exchange of gifts and the tying of the rakhi. It is also a time for families to come together, share a meal, and celebrate their relationships. It holds cultural significance as it reinforces the importance of family ties and unity. In recent times, the festival has evolved to embrace modern practices. While the traditional customs remain, people exchange virtual rakhis and gifts, especially if they cannot be physically present with their siblings due to geographical distances.

Wishing everyone a Happy Raksha Bandhan 2023.
