People across the country are celebrating Raksha Bandhan, the festival marking the affectionate bond between a brother and sister. The relationship between siblings as lifelong companions is simply extraordinary.  On this day, the sisters tie Rakhi on their brother's wrists and wish them a long, prosperous and happy life. In return, the brother promises to protect his sisters throughout their life.

The occasion is meant to celebrate any kind of sibling relationship between people who may not be biologically related

.

  This year Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on August 11 and 12.
