There can never be just one day to celebrate the bond that two siblings share. Every day is a little bit more tolerable, annoying, and strangely lovely when spent with your brother or sister. It is difficult to describe the warmth and pure love of the relationship, but in Indian culture, we have festivals to cherish and celebrate all the bonds of this human life, one of which is the auspicious festival of Raksha Bandhan, which will be celebrated in India on August 30 and 31 with great pomp and enthusiasm. The excitement grows as this important Hindu festival approaches. It is an occasion to celebrate the special bond of sibling love. Rakhi is celebrated every year on the 'Poornima Tithi' or full moon day of 'Shukla Paksha' in the month of 'Shravan Maas' (Sawan).


Sisters wrap a decorative thread known as a 'rakhi' around their brothers' wrists on this day as a token of their love and prayers for his well-being. In exchange, brothers present their sisters with gifts as well as promises of eternal protection and support. In modern times, sisters celebrate the festival by tying a Rakhi on each other's wrists.


Because the festival is celebrated over two days this year, there is some confusion about the most auspicious time to tie Rakhi. As Raksha Bandhan is a festival of love and joy, every sister wishes to tie a rakhi to her brother at a lucky time. Don't worry, we've got your back. Read on to learn about the 'shubh muhurat' for tying Rakhi.


Rakhi Rituals Shubh Muhurat: 


Purnima Tithi will begin at 10:45 AM on August 30, 2023, and 'Bhadra' will begin at approximately the same time, at 11:00 AM. 'Bhadra' concludes at 9:03 p.m. The two dates are due to 'Bhadra Kaal', during which no Raksha Bandhan rituals should be performed, according to Drik Panchang. If 'Purnima Tithi' ends on August 31, 2023, at 7:05 AM, the next 'Surya Udaye Purnima' is considered auspicious, and people can celebrate Rakhi on that day. Rakhi can thus be tied on these two dates. People can celebrate the festival on August 30, after 9:01 PM, or the following morning, before 7:05 AM, tying Rakhi during this time is considered auspicious.
