Event summary

Highlights

  • Record participation of over 189,000 women and girls
  • Extended 10-day schedule of rakhi-tying ceremonies
  • Specific outreach campaign targeting Generation Z participants
The celebration typically spans seven to ten days and involves an extensive preparation phase, including a month-long door-to-door registration campaign to invite local residents. In 2026, the event reached a record participation of over 189,000 women and girls. The organizers specifically expanded registration to include students from classes 9 to 12, resulting in a significant increase in participation from the Gen Z demographic compared to previous years.

The ceremonies are held at various locations throughout the Narela constituency to facilitate local attendance. While primarily a social and religious gathering centered on the tying of rakhis, the event also serves as a platform for community engagement. The 2026 festivities were accompanied by announcements regarding new local infrastructure, including sports stadiums and specialized government schools aimed at serving middle- and lower-income families.
