The festival of Raksha Bandhan honours the special bond between siblings. Sisters tie a rakhi, or cotton thread, around their brothers’ wrists: in a simple but powerful gesture of kinship, loyalty and love.
ABOVE: Rakhis, a symbol of peace and compassion
In 1905, the great Rabindranath Tagore used it to unite the people of Bengal. We believe that it is as important to come together today as it was back then. And so every year, we invite our guests and team to tie rakhis on someone of a different faith, nationality or culture, as a symbol of solidarity – a commitment to stand up for them. We call this Knots Of Protection.
