Raksha Bandhan: According to Hindu tradition, on the day of Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie a rakhi (sacred thread) on their brothers’ wrists to protect them in difficult situations. Similarly, the Armed Forces and Police protect the entire community. To acknowledge this and express our gratitude, Hindu community ladies will tie rakhis to them as a symbol of respect and thanks.
All devotees who wish to participate in the Sunderkand Paath and Raksha Bandhan celebrations are heartily welcome to join these auspicious events.
Should you wish to volunteer for kitchen duties or other help, you are most welcome. For more information or Seva opportunities at the Mandir, please contact:
