Raksha Bandhan, or Rakhi, is more than just a day on the calendar—it's a deeply emotional reminder of the love and loyalty between siblings. For Indians living in the USA, it’s also a beautiful connection to home, culture, and memories. In a land of skyscrapers, diversity, and fast-paced life, this Indian tradition becomes a moment of reflection and emotional grounding.

For the Indian diaspora, festivals carry a different kind of weight. They’re not just celebrations; they’re a bridge to our heritage.
