Photobucket Album
For the first time ever Raksha Bandhan was celebrated in public outside India in Sao Paulo (Brasil) on 16th August 2008. The event was organized by Alok and Anupma Sharman under the umbrella of the Brasil India Chamber of Commerce (Sao Paulo) and was sponsored by Consulate of India (Sao Paulo). Around 250 Brasilians attended the function and tied rakhis. A ceremony was performed on stage to explain to them what this festival is all about.
