Where Is My Brothers Rakhi

Little tradition based on folk art and literature Now surpasses the elite tradition in Vedas Fah lah lah lah where dowries are often given back. Where the Raksha Bandhan festival originated Now celebrated on Full Moon day of Shravana Sisters express devotion to their brothers Their sworn protectors for life Fah lah lah lah a festival steeped in tradition. By placing shoots of barley on their heads or tying tassel plums of thread on their wrists Domestic priests of Kishan Garhi utter a blessing For which they are rewarded with cash Fah lah lah lah Where is my brother’s rakhi? Sisters are brought back to village of origin for ceremony They can honor a voluntary kin if they have no brothers
