New Delhi: Raksha Bandhan, which reaffirms the strong bond of love and affection between brothers and sisters, will be celebrated across the country on Sunday.

The festival of Raksha Bandhan is observed with an age-old tradition of women of all ages tying a symbolic thread around the wrists of their brothers while praying for their protection.

The ‘muhurat’ for Raksha Bandhan, which is observed on a full moon day (purnima) in the month of Shravan, will begin at around 6.15 a.m. and will continue till up to 5.31 p.m.

The main ritual involves worshipping ‘raksha’ and tying it to the wrist as a ‘raksha’ bundle. The bundle should be made with broken rice, white mustard and gold-coloured thread. It should be woven with coloured fabric and kept on a clean cloth for the puja.
