Unlock the Auspicious Timings: When to Tie Rakhi to Your Brother for Raksha Bandhan 2023

“Raksha Bandhan 2023: Auspicious Timings for Tying Rakhi on August 30 and 31”

Raksha Bandhan, a significant Hindu festival celebrating the bond between siblings, will be observed with fervor on August 30 and 31 this year. As the excitement builds for this occasion, it’s important to know the auspicious timings for tying the sacred Rakhi thread.

Rakhi is traditionally celebrated on the Poornima Tithi (full moon day) of the Shukla Paksha during the month of Shravan Maas (Sawan). On this cherished day, sisters lovingly tie a decorative thread, known as a “rakhi,” around their brothers’ wrists, accompanied by prayers for their well-being. In return, brothers offer gifts and promises of enduring protection and support. In modern times, the festival has expanded, with sisters also tying Rakhis on each other’s wrists.

Due to the festival being celebrated on two days this year, there’s often confusion about the most auspicious time for Rakhi tying. Rest assured, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the auspicious timing for tying Rakhi:

August 30, 2023:

• Purnima Tithi starts: 10:58 AM
• Bhadra starts: 11:00 AM
• Bhadra ends: 9:01 PM
• August 31, 2023:
• Purnima Tithi ends: 7:05 AM

Considering Bhadra Kaal, a period when Raksha Bandhan rituals are avoided, it’s recommended to tie Rakhi during the following periods:

• August 30, after 9:01 PM
• August 31, before 7:05 AM

Raksha Bandhan holds deep cultural and emotional significance. As the auspicious festival approaches, these timings can guide you in celebrating this cherished bond at the most opportune moments.
