  1. Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan which falls on Shravan Purnima. The myth in the clues seems to be the brother-sister relationship between Raja Bali and Goddess Laxmi. But dunno where Indian National Anthem features in it.

  2. The ans. is “Indian National Insignia”. All the pictures signify national insignia in some way or the other (somewhere subtly, somewhere in a more profound manner).

    Clockwise from the top left, the first picture is of Lord Vishnu. He has a peacock’s (national bird) feather on his crown and holds a lotus (national flower). The next is that of a woman in a body-paint that of a tiger (national animal). The 3rd is the latest data available from FAO about top-most countries that produce mango (national fruit) and the area that is cultivated for the same. 4th is of Rajpal Singh - Indian National Men’s Hockey (national sports) team’s captain. The 5th is of Saka calendar (national calendar). 6th is the oldest notes of Jana Gana Mana (national anthem). The 7th and the last one is a li’l vague. It’s the coat of arms of Indonesia but it has the symbol of a banyan tree (national tree).
