AN EMPATHY THAT BINDS OUR LIVES,

OUR HEARTS.

The brother pledges to protect the sister in every birth.To symbolise this he allows her to tie a string on his wrist.

This ceremony leaves the siblings elated with the feeling-

We gain and lose things every day,

        But trust me on one thing,

You will never lose me, I’ll always be there

Sister complies so that he keeps his promise. Since the historical ages this custom is prevalent to keep a brother and sister in a relationship.

Just as the brother is bound by a promise to protect the sister after getting a string tied onto his wrist, so also the sister prays to God for his protection.
