Raksha Bandhan 2022

Raksha Bandhan is a traditional festival that marks and honours the bond between a brother and sister and is celebrated widely throughout India. On this day, sisters tie strings on the hand of their brothers and offer blessings to their brothers, the brothers also vow to protect and keep their beloved sisters safe from danger. Like every year, this year on the 12th of August 2022, the community members, villagers, women of Self-Help Group (SHG) & mangrove stewards associated with NEWS celebrated this day in different parts of Sundarban by tying strings or “rakhis” around the mangroves to express their love for mangroves who have been protecting them from the vagaries of nature such as cyclones. #Mangroves #sundarbancommunity #RakshaBandhan2022 #coastalsentinels #mangroveconservation #lovemangroves #savemangroves #savesundarban
