Tripura gears up to celebrate Raksha Bandhan on August 30
It is a festival that tugs at the hearts of brothers and sisters alike. No matter where they are, how far apart, but on Raksha Bandhan day sisters and brothers celebrate their love for each other and the bond keeps getting stronger over the years.
Along with the whole nation, Tripura has geared up to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. This year Raksha Bandhan falls on August 30. Markets have been decorated with Rakhis in tripura with the approaching of Raksha-Bandhan day on August 30.
In Agartala various shops have been displayed with designed Rakhis following a huge rush for buyers. The craze of buying Rakhis are mostly among the school children across the state. However, this year Rakhis have turned much costly with the bargaining competition is also at the same wave.
Raksha Bandhan, that coincides with the full moon in the month of Shravan according to the Indian calendar, celebrates the ties of love and protection between brothers and sisters. Sisters tie a silken Rakhi thread symbolising the brother-sister bond on the wrist of their brothers, who in return gift them something.
Raksha Bandhan, or simply Rakhi is a Hindu festival, celebrated in many parts of the Indian subcontinent, notably India and Nepal. Raksha bandhan means “bond of protection.
