INDIA-KOLKATA-RAKSHA BANDHAN FESTIVAL

Indian children celebrate the Raksha Bandhan festival in Kolkata, capital of eastern Indian state West Bengal on Aug. 7, 2017. Raksha Bandhan, meaning the bond of protection, is a festival to mark the relationship between brothers, cousins and sisters. At this festival, a sister ties a sacred thread on her brother's wrist, which symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother's well-being, and the brother's lifelong vow to protect her.
