The murtis in the Mandir were beautifully adorned with colourful rakhdis. In his blessings in the evening Raksha Bandhan Festival assembly, Swamishri explained that this festival is not just about physical protection but about redeeming one’s soul and keeping God as the centre point in every activity.

Swamishri personally sanctified all the rakhdis for the devotees, which were placed around the wrists of all devotees by the sadhus at the end of the assembly.
