India will celebrate the Rakhi festival on Sunday.

The Rakhi festival, which is also known as Raksha Bandhan, celebrates the sweet relationship between a brother and his sister.

The festival brings with itself lots of emotions like trust, love and commitment, which are exchanged among siblings.

The Rakhi ceremony involves the tying of a rakhi by a sister on her brother's wrist that symbolises her love and prayer for her brother's good health and prosperity. On the other hand, the brother takes the lifelong vow to protect her.
