Raksha Bandhan 2025: 7.5-Hour Muhurat To Tie Rakhi, Rahukaal To Last 1 Hour, 40 Minutes
In 2025, Rakshabandhan will be celebrated on Saturday, August 9. This year offers over seven and a half hours of auspicious time to tie Rakhi and celebrate the bond of siblings Rakshabandhan, the joyous festival celebrating the eternal bond between brothers and sisters, is one of the most cherished occasions in Hindu culture. On this day, sisters tie a sacred Rakhi thread on their brothers' wrists, praying for their well-being, while brothers pledge to protect their sisters. In 2025, Rakshabandhan falls on Saturday, August 9. This year, the festival comes with an auspicious window of over seven and a half hours to perform the Rakhi ritual. What makes it even more special is that the day will be completely Bhadra -free, allowing celebrations to begin right from the morning. Auspicious Muhurata for Rakshabandhan 2025 According to the Hindu calendar, Rakshabandhan is celebrated on Sawan Purnima, the full moon day that marks the conclusion of the sacred month of Sawan, beloved to Lord Shiva. This year, Sawan Purnima begins at 2:12 PM on August 8 and ends at 1:24 PM on August 9. Avoid Tying Rakhi During Rahukaal Despite the Bhadra -free muhurta, Rakhi should not be tied during Rahukaal, which falls between 9:07 AM and 10:47 AM on the same day. Rahukaal, lasting for 1 hour and 40 minutes, is considered inauspicious for performing any sacred or important tasks. In astrology, Rahu is a shadow planet associated with confusion, misfortune, and delay. That is why no new ventures, rituals, or auspicious ceremonies are recommended during Rahukaal, including the tying of Rakhi. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
