Africa-Press – Mauritius. Raksha Bandhan this year will be different for the Indians residing in America and Mauritius as they will tie organic cow dung rakhis from Jaipur on their wrists.
While an order for 40,000 rakhis has come from America, another order for 20,000 rakhis has been received from Mauritius, said Atul Gupta from the Organic Farmer Producer Association of India which a few months back made history of exporting 192 metric tonnes of cow dung from Jaipur to Kuwait.
According to Sangeeta Gaur, national president of the women’s wing of the Association, “This year, rakhis made of cow dung will be the centre of attraction not only in India but also abroad.
These rakhis have been made from indigenous cow dung in Sunrise Organic Park of Sripinjrapole Gaushala complex. Our women’s unit has decided to export herbal rakhis made from cow dung and seeds on Raksha Bandhan. These rakhis will symbolise the sacred relationship of brother and sister to the overseas Indians,” she added.
