India

Today we finished the phantom tollbooth. We are studying ancient India so we made bracelet's that originated in India.

Here is some info about them

Raksha Bandhan is primarily a North Indian festival kindling the deepest emotions of love and affection amongst the siblings. Just like all Indian festivals, this is also celebrated with lots of verve.

The sister ties the rakhi on the brother's wrist and both pray for each others' well being followed by a pledge from the brother to take care of his sister under all circumstances. The brother then usually gifts something to the sister to mark the occasion.
I will post a pic later. Bye.
