This year, the auspicious celebration of Raksha Bandhan falls on two consecutive days. Hindus are celebrating today (August 30) and tomorrow (August 31). Raksha Bandhan honors the everlasting tie that siblings share. On this day, sisters traditionally tie Rakhi around their brothers’ wrists. Sisters wish their brothers health and happiness, and brothers swear to cherish and protect them. Because the holiday lasts two days, you should be aware of the optimal moment to tie Rakhi to your brother. While the specifics for August 30 can be found here, scroll down to find the Shubh Muhurat to tie Rakhi to your brother on August 31.
What is the Shubh Muhurat to tie Rakhi-
This year, Raksha Bandhan happens on August 30 and 31. This is due to the fact that Bhadra Kaal and the full moon dates coincide this year. On August 30, the Raksha Bandhan Bhadra Poonch will begin at 5:30 p.m. and end at 6:31 p.m., while the Rakhi Bhadra Mukh will begin at 6:31 p.m. and end at 8:11 p.m. Finally, the Bhadra Kaal will conclude at 9:01 p.m. The Poornima Tithi will begin at 10:58 a.m. on August 30 and will end at 7:05 a.m. on August 31.
According to Hindu custom, the finest time to tie Rakhi is in the afternoon. However, if Bhadra persists, no auspicious ceremonies should be performed. So, the optimal time to begin celebrating Rakhi is after 9:01 p.m. on August 30, and the Raksha Bandhan muhurat end time would be at 9:00 pm on August 31. Therefore, if you are celebrating Rakhi on August 31, you can tie Rakhi anytime before 9:00 pm. However, the most auspicious time would be before 7:05 am. Additionally, in Udaya Tithi, you can celebrate Raksha Bandhan till 5:42 pm on August 31.
