Raksha Bandhan celebrates the eternal bond between brothers and sisters. As per tradition, the sister’s talisman around her brother’s wrist can protect him from evil. The brother, in return, promises to protect her. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Ram Nath Kovind and other top leaders have all extended their wishes on social media. On the auspicious occasion, let’s take a look at how they are celebrating:
