The word Raksha Bandhan translates to “the bond of protection. Every year every Indian sister ties a rakhi on their brother’s wrist and in return, the brother vows to protect his sister from every evil. Regardless of any gender role, Raksha Bandhan celebrates the bond between siblings, signified by the sacred thread, a symbol of love and care.
Raksha Bandhan is typically celebrated on the full moon in the Hindu month of Sharavana, which falls mostly in August every year. This year rakhi is on today, 19h of August, as per the Hindu Panchang. Today the Bhadra end time is at 1:30 PM, making it safe to begin the ceremony after 1:30 PM. The most auspicious time to tie rakhi is during Aparahna Muhurat, which falls between 1:43 PM to 4:20 PM this year. This window of 2 hours and 37 minutes is the ideal time to perform rituals and tie the thread.
In case you miss the muhurat, there is Pradosh Muhurat which is another auspicious time in the evening to tie the rakhi. For Raksha Bandhan 2024, it falls between 6:56 PM to 9:08 PM, giving you a 2 hours and 11 minutes window to perform the rituals and seek blessings. Celebrate with love, celebrate with joyousness. Have a happy Raksha Bandhan!
