We are sharing a special story about Raksha Bandhan based on the childhood experiences of one of our friends, Meenu. Mehndi is a big part of Raksha Bandhan's preparations in many parts of North India. And if the mehndi turns dark red on the back of your hand, your brother is supposed to love you very much. In this story, Anju, a little girl sees that the mehndi is more orangish and is heartbroken. Listen to the story about how she realizes it's not the color of the mehndi that tells her how much her brother loves her. Enjoy the story!
