A Muslim family in Balapur, Maharashtra, is preserving a five-generation-old tradition of crafting Dev Rakhis ahead of Raksha Bandhan. Taj Mohammed's family continues the legacy inherited from his grandfather, symbolising communal harmony and Hindu-Muslim amity. The intricate process of making Dev Rakhis involves boiling raw white thread in water and dyeing it in various vibrant colours. In Maharashtra, families traditionally offer the Dev Rakhi to a revered deity before women tie threads on their brothers' wrists. The report highlights how this longstanding cultural practice breaks stereotypes and reflects India's glorious tradition of unity in diversity.
