So my father in law is from India, and Dan and he are Hindi. So we occasionally do ceremonies to celebrate certain things when we visit my in-law’s house. Anyways Rakhi is when a sister asks her brother for his protection by tying a decorated string (rakhi) around his arm. He then gives her money or a gift to show that his sister is under his protection and he will watch out for her, or at least that is what I believe it is about. Anyways my in-laws had just received some Rakhi from India so when we were visiting on Saturday, Eloise tied one around Desmond’s arm and he gave her a dollar to show he will protect her (if you consider protecting her to mean he will jump over, not on her *grin*). Here are the pictures.
