Best Time for Raksha Bandhan

Optimal Timing for Raksha Bandhan

• The best time to celebrate Raksha Bandhan this year is from 6:00 AM to 9:45 AM on August 28th, as the full moon of Shravan month ends at 9:45 AM.

• It is advised not to perform the ritual during Rahu Kaal, which occurs from 10:45 AM to 12:27 PM; hence, tying the rakhi should be avoided during this period.

• The afternoon timing for tying the rakhi is also favorable, specifically between 1:14 PM and 4:15 PM.

• There is no need to worry about Bhadrakal this year as it will not occur, making it a more auspicious occasion.

• Emphasis is placed on completing rituals before the end of the full moon phase at 9:45 AM.
