Blind students at The Blind Relief Association in New Delhi have made colourful rakhis ahead of Raksha Bandhan, which falls on August 28. The initiative highlights their creativity and determination, turning the festive preparations into a symbol of empowerment and inclusion.

Photographs released by the association show the students at work on the rakhis. The images capture the spirit of resilience and joy as the students prepare for the celebration.
Raksha Bandhan, tied to the full moon of the Hindu month Shravana, is one of north India's most widely observed festivals. The Blind Relief Association, founded in 1946, runs a school and vocational training centre for visually impaired students in the capital. Such craft initiatives are a regular part of its curriculum, giving students both a livelihood skill and a chance to participate in mainstream cultural events. The rakhis will likely be sold at the association's premises or through community stalls in the days leading up to August 28.
