Vendors sell rakhis at Sadar Bazar in New Delhi Tuesday. The Raksha Bandhan festival, which falls on August 11 this year, is an occasion to celebrate the bonds of love, affection and respect between brothers and sisters. We also call this day, Rakhi. Every year, on this auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan, sisters look forward to celebrate this special bond by tying rakhis on the wrists of their brothers. (Photos by Ranjan Basu)
