RBI’s ‘Alvida’ to Raghuram Rajan: Colourful ‘Bank Notes’ Rangoli

Guess Raghuram Rajan’s exit is hitting the RBI as hard as it’s hitting everybody else.

It’s going to be really hard to say goodbye to RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan.

The staff of Reserve Bank of India crafted an intricate rangoli to bid to goodbye to the most popular of all RBI governors who will be stepping down from his post officially on 4 September.

It isn’t just the Reserve Bank of India; a Bengaluru-based food company has introduced two dishes in its menu to celebrate the legacy of outgoing RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan.
