Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated Raksha Bandhan, the festival marking pious bond between brother and sister, at his 7 Lok Kalyan Marg (LKM) residence in the national Capital on Saturday.
Many schoolchildren and Brahma Kumaris tied “rakhis” on PM Modi’s wrist and distributed candy as part of the joyous celebration.
In a touching moment, youngsters showed their love and affection for the prime minister in a variety of ways, including by pecking his cheeks, shaking hands, smiling warmly, and giving him embraces. In return for his love of children, the prime minister embraced and showered them with blessings.
A sizable contingent of kids can be seen crowding around PM Modi at his official house and tying “rakhis” on his wrist one by one in the images released by the PM’s office.
The focal point of this year’s Raksha Bandhan at the PM’s official residence was the Braham Kumaris, the biggest female-led spiritual organization in the world. While the Prime Minister pledged to strive tirelessly for their improvement, a number of Braham Kumaris tied the sacred thread.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi also wished the country and its citizens a happy Raksha Bandhan, a festival honoring the customary relationship between brothers and sisters.
Taking to his social media handle on X, he wrote, “Best wishes on the special occasion of Raksha Bandhan.”
Raksha Bandhan honors the sacred link between brothers and sisters and is observed on the full moon day of the month of Shravan.
The sister prays and wishes for her brother’s health, happiness, and prosperity while tying the “rakhi” (holy thread), while the brother promises to protect her at all costs and to lavish her with presents.
