On August 28, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, observed its unique Raksha Bandhan traditions, with special rakhis offered to Lord Mahakal and Lord Ganesh. The first rakhi was tied to Lord Mahakal by women from the temple priests' families, who had prepared it over a week using silk fabric, threads, and ornaments, and decorated it with glass work, Rudraksha beads, and peacock feathers.
The women broke their fast by consuming prasad after tying the rakhi to Mahakal and later tied rakhis to their brothers. Meanwhile, the Bade Ganesh Temple received a unique 51-foot-long rakhi from women across India and abroad, who regarded Lord Ganesh as their brother and regarded Riddhi and Siddhi as their sisters-in-law.
