As we all know Independence Day is around the corner and it’s the time to show some love and devotion to our National flag 🇮🇳. Our National flag consists of Saffron , White and Green which represents courage, peace and faith respectively. 

Coincidently this time on this day we are celebrating “Raksha bandhan” too.

The brother-sister relationship is one of the most unique and valuable relationships in this world. There may be arguments and bitter fights between a brother and a sister, but then there is also that special bond which they can only feel.

So to celebrate both occasions on same day, made a “tricolour barfi”. A respect for tricolor & sweet for a brother on Raksha bandhan.
