Reflecting on Raksha Bandhan: An Inclusive Approach
Raksha Bandhan is a festival that traditionally celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. As a parent of an only child, this festival posed a unique challenge for me. With no siblings or cousins nearby—Ruhaan’s only cousin is in India—we faced the choice of not participating. Yet, the festival’s core message of celebrating the special bonds between loved ones is so beautiful, and I was determined to find a way for Ruhaan to experience it.
Embracing Friendship: A New Way to Celebrate Raksha Bandhan
Then, it struck us—if a brother and sister can celebrate Raksha Bandhan, why not two friends who are growing up together, side by side? We reached out to our neighbors, and they wholeheartedly agreed! Take a look at the heartwarming pictures of Ruhaan’s Rakhi celebration with his two best friends. The joy and love in their smiles are truly priceless.
