No other festival entails the sibling rivalries, the affectionate bond of friendship and everything foe and friendly, quite like Raksha Bandhan. It is surprising how the annoying anecdotes of youth turn to fond memories when you look back at them in the visage of a decade.  As someone who is always there for you despite the nagging nature you so fondly associate with them, siblings in many a ways are like cats and dogs who have discovered friendship after a history of wars.

Raksha Bandhan: A Bond Beyond Blood

Raksha Bandhan, a Hindu festival celebrated throughout India, is a beautiful tradition that symbolizes the bond between siblings. Sisters tie rakhis (sacred threads) on their brothers’ wrists, and in return, brothers vow to protect their sisters.

Many families have incorporated their canine companions into this cherished tradition. Sisters have been seen tying rakhis on their furry brothers, creating a heartwarming and unique bond. The images shared by our readers at Dog with Blog capture these touching moments.

Onam: A Harvest Festival with Canine Charm

Onam, a ten-day harvest festival celebrated in Kerala, India, honors King Mahabali, a legendary ruler known for his benevolent rule. To welcome him back to Earth, homes are decorated with beautiful floral patterns called “pookalam.”

August 28th also saw the beginning of ten-day Onam celebrations, the harvest festival celebrated to honour King Mahabali, whose rule as the legend runs, coincided with peace, prosperity and happiness.  To welcome him, entrances to homes are decorated with flowers arranged in beautiful patterns. Dr. Praseeda Satheesh has shared this innocent capture of his best friend Ruby lending more colours to the Onam festivities.

Unlike Holi and Diwali, these celebrations are canine-friendly. Many dog owners find creative ways to involve their furry friends in the festivities. From dressing them up in traditional attire to letting them participate in family rituals, dogs can add a special touch to these celebrations.We’d love to know how your dogs added to the festive charm…over to you!
