On this occasion, sisters tie a colorful band, known as the rakhi, around the wrist of their brothers and pray for their prosperity, health and well-being. In return, brothers pledge to protect and support their sisters and present them gifts. 

President Ram Nath Kovind wished India on this auspicious occasion.
