Schoolgirls in New Delhi tied rakhis to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a way to celebrate the bond between siblings on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. As PM Modi entered the classroom and the students tied the holy thread to him, they greeted him with smiles. Prime Minister Modi gave the girls a warm smile as they approached to tie the rakhi and inquired about their names and classes.
PM Modi received a sweet peck on the cheek from one of the girls before bending down to bless her. Schoolgirls were seen passing the rakhis to PM Modi while they were both seated on a chair. Additionally, the prime minister participated in a group photo with teachers, students, and schoolgirls. The girls tied custom-made rakhis with his image on them around PM Modi’s wrist. Everywhere in the nation, the festival honoring the enduring bond between a brother and a sister is being observed with the customary pomp and fervor.
Schoolgirls in the Udhampur district of Jammu and Kashmir bound rakhis to CRPF soldiers. BSF soldiers joined schoolchildren in the Samba district of the Valley to celebrate Raksha Bandhan.
