Raksha Bandhan for children at the BVB-BBMP Public School in Sriramapuram went much beyond symbolism, with the students understanding and celebrating the festival as a 'mutually protective and symbiotic relationship with all living beings'. What was most pertinent, timely, and meaningful was the tying of green rakhi to trees and plants by the children, pointing to the environmental awareness among the young minds, and making the festival as not just one of bonhomie, but as a pledge for respecting, nurturing, and preserving nature.
