Rakhi And Sawan Purnima On The Same Day This Year
This year, Sawan Purnima fast will be observed on August 8, while bathing, donation and Rakhi will be celebrated on August 9, as per the timing of the Purnima tithi Sawan Purnima, observed on the full moon day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Shravan, is considered highly auspicious. The day is marked by rituals such as holy bathing, donation, and fasting, all dedicated to Lord Shiva, for whom the month of Shravan is especially dear. This full moon also coincides with the celebration of Rakshabandhan, the cherished festival that symbolises the bond between brothers and sisters. However, this year, the rituals of Sawan Purnima, including the fast and bathing-donation, will fall on different days, while Rakhi will be celebrated on the same day as the bathing and donation ritual. Astrologer Dr Krishna Kumar Bhargava from Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, shares key details about the timings and significance of this sacred day. Sawan Purnima 2025 Date Sawan Purnima Fast The Sawan Purnima fast will be kept on Friday, August 8, as the full moon tithi concludes by noon the next day. The moonrise on this day will take place at 6:42 PM, and this is when devotees should offer Arghya to the moon. Worshipping the moon on Purnima Arghya is an integral part of the fasting ritual, believed to bring peace, virtue, and blessings. Sawan Purnima Bathing And Donation Scriptures emphasise the importance of Udaya Tithi for rituals like bathing and donation. Therefore, when Sawan Purnima fast is observed on August 8, Sawan Purnima bathing and donation will take place on Saturday, August 9. The most auspicious time for this is during Brahma Muhurta, from 4:22 AM to 5:04 AM. Bathing and donating on this day are said to cleanse sins and earn spiritual merit. Rakshabandhan 2025 Date Raksha Bandhan is a day when sisters tie Rakhi to their brothers and pray for their well-being, while brothers promise to protect their sisters. It's a celebration of love, protection, and a lifelong bond. This year, Rakshabandhan also falls on Sawan Purnima, Saturday, August 9. As there is no Bhadra on this day, the festival can be celebrated throughout the day. The most auspicious time to tie Rakhi is between 5:47 AM and 1:24 PM. Auspicious Yogas on Sawan Purnima Three highly auspicious yogas will be formed on this year's Sawan Purnima: These yogas are believed to amplify the spiritual benefits of rituals performed on this day. Rog Panchak on Sawan Purnima Rog Panchak will start at 2:11 AM on August 10 and will last for five days. Although it technically begins on the tithi of Sawan Purnima, there will be no impact on Raksha Bandhan celebrations, which are based on the sunrise-to-sunrise cycle. view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: July 25, 2025, 11:40 IST News astrology Rakhi And Sawan Purnima On The Same Day This Year | Timings And Rituals Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
