August 26 is raksha bandhan in India, the festival of brotherhood between brothers and sisters, or between friends as brother and sister. A small cord that the sister ties to her brother's wrist, asking for his protection, represents this bond. Rakhi Day is a special day in India, and even more so this year, when floods swept through Kerala in the south of the country. It takes place at the time of the full moon, starting at the end of July. Desserts can be brought to fraternal gatherings, and I suggest Sandesh with dried fruit, a delicious curd sweetened with dried fruit.
