This Raksha Bandhan, cover the distance with Twitter's Virtual Rakhi

Raksha Bandhan not only celebrates the lovely bond between brothers and sisters, but also ties them closer together through a promise that they make to each other on this day every year. Often people travel across cities to spend this special day with their loved ones. During these current times, families might not be able to come together, as they traditionally would, and revel in the fun and frolic that are characteristic of these gatherings.

To make up for the distance, Twitter India is introducing a virtual rakhi, #TweetAPromise, enabling siblings all over the world to celebrate Raksha Bandhan even during a pandemic. Once again, Twitter is doing what it does so well - connecting people.

Here’s a look at some of the Raksha Bandhan conversations doing the rounds on Twitter
