Celebrating Raksha Bandhan: Indian Cricketers Share Festive Moments
Raksha Bandhan Celebrations Across India
On August 9, the festival of Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated nationwide. Many athletes have joined in the festivities, sharing their special moments with sisters on social media. Fans are enjoying the delightful pictures of their favorite cricketers during this joyous occasion.
Prominent cricketers such as Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Shreyas Iyer, Rinku Singh, Surya Kumar Yadav, and Arjun Tendulkar have all celebrated Raksha Bandhan with great enthusiasm. Traditionally, during this festival, sisters tie a protective thread on their brothers' wrists, while brothers pledge to support and protect their sisters, often presenting them with special gifts.
Astrological Significance of Raksha Bandhan
Currently, the festival of Rakhi is being celebrated across the country. This year, there are no astrological obstacles like Bhadra or Panchak affecting the celebrations. According to scriptures, tying Rakhi during Bhadra is considered inauspicious. Today, a rare planetary alignment is occurring, with the deity of justice, Saturn, positioned in Pisces and the Sun in Cancer.
