Raksha Bandhan is one of the most endearing ways to celebrate the virtuous bond of love between a brother and a sister which is one of the deepest and noblest of all human emotions. On this day, sisters tie rakhi on their brothers’ wrists to symbolise their bond. In return, brothers promise that they shall be the protectors of their sisters for their entire life and give a return gift. This festival symbolises faith and eternal love between a brother and sister.

To commemorate the pious bond of Raksha Bandhan and a promise that is bright and shining a plethora of events were organised at St. Joseph’s Sr. Sec. School, Sector 44-D,Chandigarh with great zeal and enthusiasm. The tiny tots of Play Way and Nursery classes made beautiful rachis. The Kindergarten students tied rakhis to the trees and celebrated Vriksha Bandhan  as the trees are our protectors and give us life ,spreading the message not to cut and harm trees.

Students recited inspiring and meaningful poems along with fascinating props expressing the love and bond between a brother and a sister. It was truly a delight to watch young hands of our little artisans put intricate material of beads, laces, silken threads and flowers to deliver delightful and extremely creative masterpieces.

Decorating the Raksha Bandhan Thalis in various ways has been trending for years, The students made it colourful by adding beautiful designs to its surface and arranging all the materials in just the right places gave it an aesthetic appearance and enhanced the festive feelings which blossomed on everyone’s face. Beautifully embellished Wall Hangings were among the array of activities undertaken by the Middle Block students.

To help the students understand the value of giving and sharing, the students of Secondary Block participated in the Shagun Envelope Making Competition.
