Raksha Bandhan Aug'06

Raksha Bandhan (translated as the bond of protection in Hindi) or Rakhi (राखी in Devanāgarī) is a Hindu festival which celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters. It is celebrated on the full moon of the month of Shraavana and in 2006 it fells on August 9. Family members met at our home in Eden-4, Powai, Mumbai and celebrated this event. More information on Rakhi can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakhi/
