Raksha Bandhan is one of the major festivals in Hinduism, symbolizing the unbreakable bond of love, trust, and protection between brothers and sisters. Celebrated every year on the full moon (Purnima) of the Shravan month, this year the festival will be observed on Saturday, August 9, 2025.

In Raksha Bandhan, Raksha means ‘protection’ and Bandhan means ‘bond.’ On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread (Rakhi) on their brothers’ wrists, praying for their long life and well-being, while brothers pledge to protect their sisters for life. The festival is not just a religious occasion but also an emotional celebration of the sibling relationship.

Purnima Tithi And Rakhi Muhurat

According to the Hindu calendar, the Purnima Tithi will begin on August 8 at 2:12 PM and end on August 9 at 1:24 PM. As per Udaya Tithi (sunrise-based calculation), Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on August 9.

Rakhi can be tied anytime from morning till evening on August 9. However, it is considered auspicious to tie it before 1:24 PM, as the Purnima Tithi will end after that and the Bhadrapada month will begin. Traditionally, tying Rakhi during the Shravan Purnima is considered most favorable.
