Raksha Bandhan, the sweetest festival of brother-sister relationship, will be celebrated with an auspicious coincidence in 2025. On this day, sisters tie a Rakhi on their brother’s wrist and wish for his long life and happiness, and the brother promises to protect them throughout his life. This year, this festival is coming on the weekend, which will give the whole family a chance to celebrate it. Let us know when Rakhi is this year, what the auspicious time is, and whether Bhadra will have any effect or not.
When is Raksha Bandhan this year
According to the Hindu Calendar, the festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the full moon day of the Shravan month. In 2025, the full moon date will start from 2:12 pm on August 8 and will last till 1:21 pm on August 9. This time, based on Udaya Tithi, Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on Saturday, August 9, 2025.
What will be the effect of Bhadra Kaal on Raksha Bandhan?
On the day of Raksha Bandhan, sisters will celebrate with the family by tying a rakhi on their brother’s wrist. Let us tell you that this day is falling on Saturday, so there will be a holiday in schools, colleges, and many government offices, so that the festival can be celebrated with a full heart. Doing any auspicious work during Bhadra Kaal is considered forbidden, especially tying a rakhi. But the relief is that Bhadra will not have any effect on Raksha Bandhan in 2025.
Bhadra Kaal will start from 2:12 pm on August 8 and will last till 1:52 pm on August 9. Whereas Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on August 9, when Bhadra will be completely over. In such a situation, sisters can tie a rakhi on their brother’s wrist without any hindrance from the morning itself. This Bhadra-free Rakshabandhan will bring auspicious results, and there is no doubt about it.
Auspicious time to tie Rakhi
The auspicious time to tie Rakhi on Rakshabandhan is considered very special, as the work done during this time is extremely fruitful. In 2025, the best time to tie Rakhi will be from 5:35 am to 1:24 pm on August 9. During this time, sisters can tie a Rakhi to their brother, feed sweets, and take a vow of lifelong protection.
Apart from this, the most auspicious time of the day will be Abhijeet Muhurta, which is from 12:00 pm to 12:53 pm. This time is considered especially auspicious, and the fruits of the work done during this time increase manifold. So, if you want to perform any special puja or ceremony, then keep this time in mind.
