A wide range of colourful rakhis with different themes highlighting the sacred bond between a brother and a sister flooded the market this year. Rakhis bearing cartoon characters such as Chhota Bheem, Doraemon and Chutki attracted children and adolescents. Sweet and confectionery shops witnessed a heavy rush of customers.

People of other religions also participated in the celebrations reflecting communal harmony. Young girls and women visited temples to offer special prayers to mark Raksha Bandhan and Shravan Purnima. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams and Endowments Department organised a special puja at the TTD Kalyana Mandapam to mark on the occasion.
More than 500 boys and girls participated in the special puja. Priests presented ‘Srivari Raksha Bandhan’ to the participants. The festival of love and affection between brothers and sisters was also celebrated in a grand manner at the CM camp office.
