Rakshya bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is observed on the last day of the Hindu lunar calendar month of Shraavana, which typically falls in August.[23] On this day, sisters of all ages tie a cotton bracelet or amulet, called the rakhi,[3] around the wrists of their brothers, ritually affirming the bond and support of her brothers, receiving a gift from them in return, and traditionally investing the brothers with a share of the responsibility of their potential care.[24] The expression "Raksha Bandhan," Sanskrit, literally, "the bond of protection, obligation, or care," is now principally applied to this ritual. It has also applied to a similar ritual in which a domestic priest ties string bracelets on the wrists of his patrons and receives gifts of money.[16][25] A ritual associated with Saluno includes the sisters placing shoots of barley behind the ears of their brothers.[13]
Of special significance to married women, Raksha Bandhan is rooted in the practice of territorial exogamy, in which a bride marries outof her natal village or town, and her parents, by custom, do not visit her in her married home.[26] In rural north India, where territorial exogamy is strongly prevalent, large numbers of married Hindu women travel back to their parents' homes every year for the ceremony.[27][28] Their brothers, who typically live with the parents or nearby, sometimes travel to their sisters' married home to escort them back. Many younger married women arrive a few weeks earlier at their natal homes and stay until the ceremony.[29] The brothers serve as lifelong intermediaries between their sisters' married- and parental homes,[30] as well as potential stewards of their security.

Experience of police class

It was great opportunity given to us to learn about law, rules and many other things. We were taught about illeagle activities, cyber crime, etc. By a respected policemen. Getting education about these things will help us in future. There are many illeagle activities happening in our country so we must try to stop. We learned about effects of drug addiction, effects of smoking, rules and other different topics. It was very fun class and we learned about do many things that we should do and not do.  I am very interested for our next class. Hope we'll have our class very soon. Thank you!!

In the 1980s, 3D printing techniques were considered suitable only for the production of functional or aesthetic prototypes, and a more appropriate term for it at the time was rapid prototyping. Nowdays 3D printing is a part of our life and can be applied in different works. 3D-Printer 3D Printer  is a device that can make 3D design or model by laying thin layers of materials. 3D printer is the device to produce very complex shapes or geometries that would be otherwise impossible to construct by hand. Nowdays it is being used in different work of designing models, making facial mask, etc. The term 3D printing means making a solidifed item or structure by using material which is deposited, joined and solidified under computer control to create a 3 dimensional obje...
