Imphal, August 09 2022: Governor La Ganesan had extended his greetings to the people on "Raksha Bandhan" which falls on August 11 .

Raksha Bandhan, said the Governor, is observed on the last day of Hindu lunar calendar month of Shraavana.

The expression Raksha Bandhan, literally, "the bond of protection, obligation, or care," is now principally applied to this ritual.

He described that large numbers of married Hindu women travel back to their parents' homes every year for the ceremony.

The brothers serve as lifelong intermediaries between their married sisters and parental homes, as well as potential stewards of their security.

Among women and men who are not blood relatives, there is also a transformed tradition of voluntary kin relations, achieved through the tying of 'rakhi' amulets, which have cut across caste and class lines, he said.

The Governor then wished all on the auspicious occasion and expressed confidence that this festival will help strengthen the bond of love among brothers and sisters in the country.
