🪷✨ Celebrating Raksha Bandhan at Inclusion! ✨🪷
Today we joined in with the beautiful Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi — a celebration of love, family, friendship, protection and the special bonds we share. 🇮🇳❤️
Raksha Bandhan takes place on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana. The name means “the bond of protection”, and traditionally a Rakhi — a colourful sacred thread — is tied around the wrist as a symbol of love, care, protection and a promise to look out for one another. 🧵❤️
So, naturally… we decided to make our very own Rakhis! 🎨🌈✨
Our people we support got creative, choosing colours, threads and decorations to create their own beautiful Rakhi bracelets. There were plenty of smiles, creativity and a little bit of Indian-inspired fun along the way! 🥰🇮🇳
And then came the best bit… tying them on! ❤️
We tied our Rakhis as a symbol of friendship, connection, kindness and looking out for one another — because those are values that everyone can celebrate, whatever our culture or background. 🪷
At Inclusion, we believe every culture, every tradition and every person has something beautiful to share. 🌍❤️
We loved learning about and celebrating this special tradition together — and our colourful Rakhis were the perfect way to mark the occasion! 🧵✨
🪷 Happy Raksha Bandhan! 🪷
रक्षा बंधन की शुभकामनाएँ! 🇮🇳❤️
