Raksha Bandhan 2025: From Delhi to Mumbai - City-wise Rakhi tie ceremony auspicious timings
Raksha Bandhan is a cherished Hindu festival that celebrates the deep and unbreakable bond between brothers and sisters. This annual occasion is marked by the Rakhi tie ceremony, where sisters lovingly tie a decorative thread, or Rakhi, on their brothers' wrists. In return, brothers pledge to protect their sisters and support them through every stage of life. The festival is filled with warmth, joy, and togetherness, making it one of the most awaited celebrations in India. When is Raksha Bandhan in 2025? Raksha Bandhan is celebrated each year during the full moon (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Shravana (Sawan). In 2025, the Purnima tithi begins on 8th August. However, according to the Drik Panchang, the most auspicious Rakhi tie ceremony time falls on 9th August 2025. This clarity helps families plan the day's rituals perfectly without confusion. Also Read: Here's why Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) 2025 is century's rarest and luckiest Meaning and Significance of Raksha Bandhan The term Raksha Bandhan comes from Sanskrit—Raksha means 'protection' and Bandhan means 'bond' or 'to tie'. Together, it represents a 'bond of protection'. While the tradition is most commonly observed between biological brothers and sisters, it also extends to cousins, brothers- and sisters-in-law, and even close friends who share a sibling-like bond. Also Read: Raksha Bandhan 2025 date & timings in UAE On Raksha Bandhan 2025, the ritual goes beyond a simple thread—it symbolises love, duty, and lifelong commitment between siblings, whether related by blood or by heart. The Rakhi Tie Ceremony – How It's Performed On the morning of Raksha Bandhan, sisters prepare a special puja thali with a Rakhi, roli, rice, sweets, and a diya (lamp). During the Rakhi tie ceremony, sisters place a tilak on their brother's forehead, tie the Rakhi around his wrist, and pray for his health, happiness, and prosperity. Brothers, in turn, present gifts and promise unwavering protection. This heartfelt tradition strengthens family ties and is followed by exchanging sweets, laughter, and blessings.

Beyond Blood Relations – The Broader Spirit of Raksha Bandhan While Raksha Bandhan is rooted in the sibling tradition, it is not limited to brothers and sisters by birth. Many cousins, uncles, aunts, and even close family friends celebrate the occasion. For example, a Bua (paternal aunt) may tie a Rakhi to her Bhatija (nephew), or sisters-in-law may tie Rakhis to their brothers-in-law. Also Read: Raksha Bandhan Mehndi Designs 2025 This inclusivity makes Raksha Bandhan not just a festival, but a celebration of love, trust, and unity in all relationships. Celebrating Raksha Bandhan 2025 in Modern Times In 2025, as families spread across cities and even countries, some sisters may send Rakhis by post or order them online. Virtual gatherings, video calls, and couriered gifts are becoming more common, allowing loved ones to stay connected despite the distance.

Derailments Make Up Bulk Of 31 Major Train Accidents In 2024-25; Railways Lost Rs 157 Crore
The Ministry of Railways said that the causes of the accidents that took place broadly include track defects, loco/coach defects, equipment failures, or human errors. Across the Indian Railway network, 31 consequential train accidents were reported in the year 2024-25 with at least 24 of these falling under the derailments category, the Lok Sabha was informed on Friday. The consequential train accidents have caused losses of Rs 157 crore, the Ministry added. Consequential train accidents are those with serious repercussions in terms of loss of human life or injury, damage to railway property, or interruption to rail traffic of laid-down threshold levels and values. These include collisions, fire, derailment, and accidents at the level crossings. In a series of written replies, Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared the details of train accidents in the last few years. The Ministry said that the causes of the accidents that took place over Indian Railways broadly include track defects, loco/coach defects, equipment failures, or human errors. 'During the last three years a total of 119 consequential train accidents have occurred over Indian Railways. Out of these 119 accidents, 28 were attributed to track related issues," the Ministry said. The Ministry also said that the Indian Railways has already adopted a fully mechanised Track Management System (TMS) to ensure monitoring of the track maintenance activities. Of the 31 serious accidents, at least 24 were derailments, three were collisions, one was a level-crossing accident, and three involved fire or other causes, the Minister said. 'Total cost of damages to railway property such as rolling stock and tracks due to the 31 accidents that occurred in 2024-25, have been assessed as Rs 157.04 crore (Provisional)," the Ministry added. Last week, News18 had reported that Indian Railways has reported an average of three 'consequential" train accidents per month since 2021-22, as the country reported 157 such mishaps in the last 51 months. Safety Prioritised, Ministry Says The Ministry explained that safety is accorded the highest priority on Indian Railways. 'As a consequence of various safety measures taken over the years, there has been a steep decline in the number of accidents," the Railway Ministry said. Each and every train accident, Ministry added, is inquired into either by the statutory body, the Commission of Railway Safety (CRS) under Ministry of Civil Aviation or Departmental Inquiry Committees of Railways as per laid down norms. The Inquiry Committees, after due deliberations, submit their findings and recommendations in various accidents. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
