Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan 2022: The daughters of sweepers, peons, gardeners, drivers, and other staff members working at the Prime Minister's Office tied Rakhi on PM ...

I made this rakhi by myself by using a Reshmi ribbon with embroidery design," she added. "I hope he (PM Modi) will call me Delhi this time. Prime Narendra Modi on Thursday celebrated Raksha Bandhan with young girls today at his residence in New Delhi. The girls who tied Rakhi on PM Modi's wrist were the daughters of sweepers, peons, gardeners, drivers, and others working at the Prime Minister's Office in the South Block at Raisina Hill.

On the Internet and in newspapers, there are a lot of fake articles about Raksha Bandhan, but no one gives real sources.

I ask all my Sanatani brothers and sisters to only believe what is written in the scriptures and not what is written in fake internet articles or by fake historians. Rana Safvi says that the Mughals celebrated Raksha Bandhan. She said that Raksha Bandhan is a Mughal holiday by quoting a newspaper. In the 12th century, Brahmins (Paliwals) often gave Rakhi to Kshatriya. For example, in 1273 CE, at Pali, Brahmins gave Rakhi to King Rao Rathore to wish him well. Archaeology shows that the Bhavishya Puran was also written before the 18th century, but I know they won't believe me, so I gave you a source from the 12th century about Pali Brahmins. This is an attempt to make Rakhi a Mughal holiday and get everyone to think that all of your Sanatan holidays were made up by the Mughals. So, The potli was made of silk and contained good things like rice, yellow mustard, sandalwood, and other things. This is what Krishna told Yudhishthira about the story and the rituals that went along with it. Then, King fought bravely and gave his life to protect the villagers. All over India, people are excited and enthusiastic about Raksha Bandhan. We, commoners, have always thought of this festival as a time for brother and sister to love and bond. I've seen that many people have used the story of Draupadi giving Krishna a woollen cloth as an example, but this isn't in Ved Vyas's Mahabharata or in our Puranas or Vedas. Some people think that Parvati tied Rakhi to Vishnu's wrist, which is also a lie because it isn't written anywhere in our scriptures. Shukracharya told them that Indrani Sachi had tied a source of protection, called the Raksha Sutra, to Indra's hand. Many people also say that the Yamuna tied Rakhi to Yamraj, but the scriptures don't say where they got that idea. Also, many people tell the Bali story in Patal Lok about Raksha Bandhan, but it's not in the scriptures.

Falling on August 11 this year to coincide with the full moon during Sravana, Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, celebrates filial responsibility and family ...

Prior to the full moon, the sister collects a number of things needed for the Raksha Bandhan ceremony. It is celebrated across the world to symbolise the love between a brother and sister with families gathering in prayer and a special ceremony to mark the occasion. The bond between a brother and sister can be incredibly special, and it is something this Hindu festival celebrates.

The film's engaging powerful anti-dowry sentiments, along with Akshay's brilliant comic timing, ensures that there is enough to keep the audience tied for ...

because the brother is being played by Akshay. Education doesn’t seem to be on the priority list of the formidable wedding planner (Seema Pahwa) either. Why the girls are so focused on finding a groom at an age where they should be keen on finding their feet is left without a discussion. Kedarnath is so worried about the wedding of his sisters that he delays his own marriage with his love interest Sapna (Bhumi Pednekar). Why can’t his sisters find love or why can’t Sapna pick up a job? An expert at pulling the heartstrings, in a way, Aanand has returned to the Tanu Weds Manu zone which lends Akshay the platform to flex his irreverent funny bone. Set in Old Delhi, in the week of gol gappas, Akshay plays Lala Kedarnath, who runs a chaat shop where his speciality is water pancakes for pregnant women who want a male child. When players are out of form, they are advised to spend some time on the home turf.

Here's a detailed report of how the Aanand L Rai directed Raksha Badhan with Akshay Kumar has fared at the box office on it's opening day.

The centres like Mumbai, Delhi and even Punjab recorded dismissal numbers for Raksha Bandhan, and it's important for these centres to come on board for it to put up a respectable total in the long run. Overall, it’s a slow start for Raksha Bandhan at the box office however, if the talk in its target audience is positive, the holiday season might help it make up for the loss of revenue on the first day. In the morning, it seemed like a Rs 7 crore start, but the walk-ins increased as the day passed by putting the film in the vicinity of Rs 8.00 crore on the opening day.

Anand Rai's film is not just clueless about gender politics, but is also devoid of logic, and harks back to the cheap films of the 1980s.

For all its anti-dowry posturing – including a long sermon in the climax – the movie barely gives any agency to its female characters. It has weird leaps of logic: Lala is struggling to cough up money for his sisters’ dowry but, when he wants to impress Shaanu, he goes to a showroom and gets a car for her. It’s the kind of film that considers a man wearing a burqa, talking like a woman, funny. It’d have made no difference: He’s been anyway playing the audiences for a really long time. The movie provides a ‘succinct’ description of the three sisters: fat, black, angsty – also “daayan” and “chudail”. The prettiest among them, unsurprisingly, is “sabse honhaar”. Every scene, yes every scene, is dialled up to such a deafening level that the film leaves a sea of dead knobs. When a man teases Lala’s sister, he beats him, then takes a loudspeaker and declares, “Every eve teaser will have to marry the woman he harasses.” Marriage – all of them, all the time. The intent of his latest release is evident from its title, Raksha Bandhan. It’s a movie so masterfully incompetent that if it ran a 100m sprint alone, it would still come second. An obese woman is called an “undertaker”. Fat shaming is this film’s obsession: A matchmaker, Shaanu (Seema Pahwa), tells a sister of Lala that, to be considered fit for marriage, she’d have to become “Sunny Leone” from “Sunny Deol”. When Shaanu asks Lala what he’s doing in the evening, wanting to meet him to discuss his sisters’ weddings, he thinks she’s asking him out. India will celebrate its Independence Day in a few days, but Indian audiences have still not gotten freedom from Akshay Kumar during the Independence Day week. Maybe we’re all stuck in a giant thought experiment that screams: “If Kumar did not release a film in the Independence Day week, did we even get independence?”
