Raksha Bandhan is a celebration that honours the relationship between a brother and sister, and it is celebrated on the Purnima Tithi (full moon day) in the month of Shravan. One of the biggest festivals, it is primarily celebrated in the northern, western, and eastern states.
A sister traditionally wraps her brother’s right wrist in a sacred thread known as a Rakhi. However, nowadays, all siblings exchange Rakhis, regardless of gender.
The sacred Rakhi thread symbolizes the relationship. According to conventional wisdom, it bolsters and defends siblings by fending off dangers. As a result, siblings offer prayers for one another’s welfare.
Siblings anticipate this day yearly since the celebration helps them remember their childhood. What is the ideal moment, or shubh muhurat, to secure the Rakhi? And should Rakhi be observed this year on August 11 or 12? Scroll down to see the solutions.
The Purnima Tithi begins on August 11 at 9:34 AM and lasts till 7:17 AM on August 12, according to Our Team of Astrologers. Bhadra was considered an unfavourable period for tying the sacred thread. The cleric advised against celebrating Raksha Bandhan when Bhadra is in power. As a result, it is only after 5:40 PM that Rakhi can be secured. The finest day to celebrate Rakhi, according to Pandit Ji, is August 11, even though the Purnima Tithi ends on the morning of August 12.
The Pradosh Kaal may, however, be delayed till the scheduled time, according to a panchang. For tying the Rakhi, the Aparahna Kaal is considered best. On days when there is no Aparahna Kaal, one may celebrate Raksha Bandhan. Pradosh Kaal’s ideal window is from 8:51 PM to 9:13 PM this year.
