Raksha Bandhan is a family-focused festival, so posts often centre on the rakhi ceremony, sibling portraits, gifts, outfits and festive food. Keep the tags personal and relevant.
Instagram announced in December 2025 that posts and Reels can use up to 5 hashtags. Because product rollouts and public documentation can change, confirm the current in-app behaviour before publishing. Pick the 5 that describe the post most precisely.
