Rakhi

~ The Bond of Love ~

India is a land of festivals . Virtually celebrating

each day of the year , there are more festivals

celebrated here than anywhere else in the world .

To celebrate the beautiful bond of love n purity

between brother and sister , we celebrate

Raksha Bandhan . Raksha means to protect and

bandhan means a bond. The festival is marked by

tying of a holy thread adorned with decorations

by the sister on wrist of his beloved brother .

This thread called Rakhi is the symbolic

representation of the unspoken promise

to protect the sister from all evils .........

Today's creation is a depiction of the pious

Rakhi - the sweet n edible way !!!
