What Is The Confusion Around Raksha Bandhan 2022 Date?

Every year, during the (Purnima) full moon of the month of Sawan, the Raksha Bandhan festival is observed. The full moon date this time occurs on two days, August 11 and 12, according to the Panchang (Hindu calendar). When exactly should the Raksha Bandhan holiday be observed in this circumstance? There is a lot of uncertainty over this.

When Exactly Should The Festival Be Celebrated? 

The Panchang states that the Sawan month's full moon day (Shravan/Sawan Purnima) would begin at 10:38 AM on August 11, 2022, and end at 7.05 AM on August 12, 2022. People in this situation are uncertain as to whether Raksha Bandhan would be observed on August 11 or August 12. Raksha Bandhan is traditionally observed on August 11 according to the Hindu calendar, however, some people are discussing commemorating it on August 12 because of the Bhadra period that falls on that day. 

What Is The Shubh Muhurt (Time) For Raksha Bandhan 2022 Date?

The Panchang predicts that Sawan Purnima Tithi will begin at 10:39 AM on August 11 and end at 7:05 AM on August 12. Bhadrakal starts on August 11 from dawn until 8:51 p.m. According to Hinduism, no auspicious work should be done after sunset. Rakhi cannot be tied to brothers in Bhadrakal or at night because of this.

On the other hand, the full moon won't rise until 7.05 am on August 12. Udayatithi is present at the moment, but Bhadra is not. Because of this, some people believe that tying a rakhi on August 12th is more appropriate and auspicious. If you plan to tie a rakhi on August 12th, make sure to do so before 7.05 am.
