I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.

This looks fascinating. I realize how little I know about other religions when I see a post like this. Here's Mine
Not familiar with this tradition, but it looks so interesting.
The Rakhis are very pretty. Very interesting.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your photos of the tradition.
Here'sMY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
I don't know much about this tradition either. Thanks for sharing your photos - they are beautiful!
Hope you are having a wonderful festival! It's always fun to see others' family and religious traditions - our world is just so very interesting and diverse!
Looks like fun! I'd love it if you would stop by and come see my pic for today.
That holiday is new to me, but the rakhis look beautiful!
Happy Rakshabandan! I didn't know that you tie rakhis to nephew and Sil. I always thought rakhis are for brothers and sisters! Thanks for stopping by!
I'm not familiar with this festival either, but it sounds interesting, and they are lovely pictures.
What is the significance of the rakhis?
I was not aware of this holiday. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this special day with us. Your brother is very handsome.
Interesting tradition. I looked it up on Wikipedia and understand it is a sacred thread the sister ties to her brother signifying he will protect her. And it it always on a full moon♫♪
What a lovely tradition! We have no way to honor the special relationship among siblings in our tradition. I love this and I love your photos too.
I am not familiar with this tradition, but everything looks very beautiful!
Fascinating photos- your photos are always a glimpse into the exotic for me.
