It does take a lot of time to choose a rakhi for your brother from such a wide collection. I like the simple ones which don't come with too many frills and I also tie a red thread called 'Moli' along with it. Most of the rakhis are generally removed as the festival day draws out except for one or two that are kept for a few more days. In our tradition, we keep one rakhi for nine days (till 'Guga Navmi') and remove it on the ninth day.<br /><br />Its summer season in Japan? In India, Its supposed to be rainy right now but in the absence of any rains... its quite hot here as well :(Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606566484548310912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127779950595554873.post-42119144657116392402012-08-05T09:09:01.764+05:302012-08-05T09:09:01.764+05:30What a wonderful festival and it makes me think th...What a wonderful festival and it makes me think that it's a shame we do nothing to honour that relationship in Canada.
