According to the Hindu calendar, Rakshabandhan is celebrated every year on Sawan Purnima, which will be celebrated on 9 August this year. This festival, a symbol of brother and sister’s love, is celebrated with great respect. To celebrate it, one thing is first seen and that is Bhadrakal. Every year Rakshabandhan is shared by Bhadra, but this time Rakshabandhan will be celebrated without Bhadra. Bhadra is considered to be inauspicious time in Hinduism, so it is definitely taken care of before tying a rakhi.
Rahukaal on Rakshabandhan
This time, Rakshabandhan is not a shadow of Bhadra, but a Rahukaal, which is not auspicious to tie a rakhi. No auspicious work is done during Rahukaal, so during this time you should avoid tying rakhi. According to the almanac, Rahukaal is going to live from 9 am to 10.30 pm on August 9. In such a situation, do not tie a rakhi to the brother during this one and a half hour.
