Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 30 August celebrated Raksha Bandhan with school girls in Delhi. School girls tied Rakhi to Prime Minister in Delhi, as they celebrated the festival of Raksha Bandhan with him. The school children greeted the Prime Minister with smiles as he entered the classroom and tied the sacred thread to him. PM Modi also greeted them with an affectionate smile, asking their names and classes.
Apart from this, the Prime Minister also posed for a group photo with schoolgirls and teachers on the occasion. The customised rakhis, which the girls tied on PM Modi’s wrist, had his image on them.
The festival marking the eternal bond between a brother and a sister is being celebrated with signature pomp and fervour across the country. In Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur district, schoolgirls tied rakhis to CRPF jawans. In the Samba district of the Valley, BSF jawans celebrated Raksha Bandhan with school children.
Earlier the Prime Minister also greeted people on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. Dedicated to unbreakable trust and immense love between sister and brother, this auspicious festival is a sacred reflection of our culture, he said on X and wished that it strengthens the feelings of affection and harmony in people’s lives. The festival is marked by the practice of sisters tying a ‘rakhi’ on the wrist of their brothers.
