Rakhsha Bandhan celebrated across the city

It is not a small thin thread but a string that is made of love and respect that binds them together on one of our country’s most celebrated festival-Raksha Bandhan. The festival was celebrated in our city also with lots of fervor and gusto.

India is globally known for its rich culture, festival and tradition. Raksha Bandhan is a day to celebrate the sweet and sour relationship between a brother and a sister. Though they share and enjoy the bond of love between them throughout the year but Rakhi is the day when they get an opportunity to express their tender love and feelings towards each other. Similar celebrations was seen across the city with many dignitaries celebrating the festival in traditional style. Thane Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik celebrated the day with the Koli community with the women tying him rakhis.

NMMC Commissioner Vijay nahata too celebrated the festival in traditional style. Corporator Saluja Sutar while tied the traditional know to his brother, she also celebrated the day with the Navi Mumbai policemen.
