Raksha bandhan time 20 August 2026 10:23 to 21 August 2026 07:16 (Purnima)
Bhadra Time(20th August 2012 10:23 to 20:47)
Raksha Bandhan is celebrated in Shravana month full moon day or Purnima day.
The best time to tie Rakhi on Raksha Bandhan is during Aparahan which is
late afternoon according to Hindu division of the day. If Aparahan time
is not available then Pradosh time is also suitable to perform rituals
related to Raksha Bandhan.
Raksha Bandhan rituals should not be done during Bhadra.
Bhadra is malicious time which should be avoided for all auspicious
work. Most Hindu religious texts, including Vratraj, advise to avoid
Bhadra time to tie Rakhi during Raksha Bandhan festival.
It should be noted that Bhadra prevails during first half of Purnima
Tithi. Hence one should wait for Bhadra to get over before starting any
auspicious work. In North India it is customary to tie Rakhi in the
morning which might not be suitable time to do it. The DrikPanchang's
team believes that it might be due to ignorance. When such information
is easily available one should avoid tying Rakhi during Bhadra.
Some sources advise to avoid Bhadra Mukha and perform Rakhi ceremony
during Bhadra Punchha if it has to be done during Bhadra in early
morning. However our team was not able to find any authority to validate
this belief.
To avoid doing Rakhi ceremony at an inauspicious time it is advisable to
check some Panchang like DrikPanchang.com to find the right time to
perform it. We list all Shubh timings which are available to tie Rakhi
for most cities across the globe.
