It's Raksha Bandhan and industrialist Anand Mahindra shared what he calls one of the earliest photos of the festival in his archives. In the photo, his elder sister Radhika is seen tying a rakhi on his wrist while their mother Indira Mahindra looks on.

Tweeting the photo, Mahindra said that he would be heading off to meet his sister and their mother in Delhi and although his younger sister Anuja is in Kodagu right now, her wishes are always with him as the rakhi she sent "arrived well in time".

"One of the earliest Raksha Bandhan pics in my archive. With my sister Radhika and my mother in Delhi. And I’m headed to her place shortly," Anand Mahindra tweeted. "A big shoutout to my younger sister Anuja who’s in Kodagu right now but her rakhi arrived well in time! Some traditions never die…"
