Raksha Bandhan is festival of love & protection. Sisters tie Rakhi to her brother and pray to god for his well being, and the brother pledges to protect her from the evil. if we go into our history and mythological legends, we will find that Rakhi doesn't not only mean a symbol of love and protection among brothers and sisters only. In the legend of Indra and Indrani, Indra's consort Indrani ties a sacred thread on his wrist to protect him from the demons. This story tells us that Rakhi was used to protect our close ones from evil Rabindranath Tagore used rakhi to bring harmony and brotherhood between the two religions to cease the decision of parting Bengal by the British. With all the history where rakhi not only symbolizes love & protection, but also a medium to bring harmony & brotherhood, Rotary Club of Panvel Elite sent over 150+ hand made rakhis made by school children from 6 schools to 11 Indian Army battalions as a medium to bring peace, harmony, brotherhood and protection to them.
