Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated Raksha Bandhan with young students at his official residence, sharing happiness and warm wishes on the occasion. The students tied rakhis on the prime minister's wrist, and in a video shared by Modi, they were seen interacting with the prime minister, shaking hands, and giving him high-fives.
Raksha Bandhan, a Hindu festival symbolizing the bond of protection between siblings, encourages families to celebrate by tying rakhis, reciprocating gifts, and expressing mutual love and responsibility. On this year's Raksha Bandhan, the best time to tie the rakhis was between 5:57 AM and 9:48 AM on August 28, 2026. Beyond siblings, the festival extends to family, friends, and society, promoting warmth, respect, and mutual support.
Modi expressed his gratitude and hopes for happiness, prosperity, and success for all during the festival.
