Raksha Bandhan is the unbreakable bond between brothers and sisters where sisters perform the ritual by tying Rakhi on their brothers’ wrists and praying for their happiness, health, and success. Brothers, in turn, promise to protect and support their sisters and this beautiful tradition continues to reinforce love, care, and duty within Indian families.
With an extended, Bhadra-free muhurat, this year’s Raksha Bandhan allows everyone to perform rituals at ease and the day starts early, and the auspicious window ends at 2:54 PM, giving families time to come together. Use the Aparahna Muhurat for heightened spiritual significance, or any time before it, for blessings and prosperity.
