Raksha Bandhan 2025 Ashubh Muhurat: Check Inauspicious Time To Avoid While Tying Rakhi
Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. It is observed every year on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Shrawan. This year, Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on Saturday, August 9.
On this special day, sisters tie a Rakhi on their brothers' wrists during the shubh muhurat (auspicious window), pray for their well-being, offer them sweets, and exchange gifts. In return, brothers promise to protect their sisters and make them feel cherished with heartfelt presents. The muhurat, or exact timing, for tying the Rakhi is considered highly significant.
Gulik Kaal
Associated with the planet Saturn, Gulik Kaal is neither completely inauspicious nor wholly auspicious. It lasts for approximately 90 minutes and may have mixed effects depending on individual horoscopes. On August 9, Gulik Kaal will be from 5:47 AM to 7:27 AM.
Durmuhurat
Durmuhurat is known to bring failure and obstacles if used for important tasks. Tying Rakhi during this period is not advisable. On Raksha Bandhan 2025, Durmuhurat will be observed from 5:47 AM to 7:34 AM.
Yamagand
Yamagand is associated with Lord Yama, the god of death. This time is considered unfavourable, often linked to fear, loss, and setbacks. Avoid tying Rakhi or starting any new ventures during this period, which falls between 2:06 PM and 3:46 PM.
Adal Yoga
Adal Yoga is a celestial combination connected to the Moon. It can produce both positive and negative effects, particularly on emotional health, relationships, and decision-making. This yoga will begin at 2:23 PM on August 9 and continue till 5:48 AM on August 10.
Varjya Kaal
Varjya Kaal is regarded as a highly inauspicious phase in the Panchang. Activities like travel, shopping, worship, rituals, and Rakhi tying should be avoided during this time, which will occur from 6:18 PM to 7:52 PM.
Baan Kaal
Baan Kaal signifies destruction or misfortune. Traditionally, auspicious tasks like housewarming, weddings, or launching new ventures are avoided during this period. While the specific timing for Baan Kaal may vary by location, it should be factored in before planning your rituals.
Auspicious Time
This year, the ideal window to tie Rakhi on Raksha Bandhan is from 5:47 AM to 1:24 PM. Sisters should aim to perform the ritual within this period to ensure it brings happiness, good health, and prosperity to their brothers' lives.

76 Killed, Dozens Missing After Migrant Boat Capsizes Near Yemen In Bad Weather
Last Updated: This tragedy is the latest in a series of shipwrecks off Yemen, which have killed hundreds of African migrants fleeing conflict and poverty and reaching Gulf countries. At least 76 people were killed in one of the deadliest migrant shipwrecks near Yemen after a boat carrying mostly Ethiopian migrants sank in the Gulf of Aden in bad weather, according to officials. Security officials said 32 people had been rescued and dozens remained missing, with their fates unknown. Abdusattor Esoev, the UN International Organisation for Migration's (IOM) chief of mission for Yemen, told AFP that the ship was headed to Abyan governorate in southern Yemen, a frequent destination for boats smuggling African migrants hoping to reach the wealthy Gulf states. The UN migration agency said there were 157 people, of whom 76 had died and 32 had been rescued. Some of those rescued have been transferred to Yemen's Aden, near Abyan, a security official said. Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Holy See's secretary of state, said the Pope was 'deeply saddened by the devastating loss of life". Despite the civil war that has ravaged Yemen since 2014, the impoverished country has remained a key transit point for irregular migration, in particular from Ethiopia, which itself has been roiled by ethnic conflict. 'This route is predominantly controlled by smugglers and human-trafficking networks… Refugees and migrants have no other alternative but to hire their services," Ayla Bonfiglio, of the Mixed Migration Centre research and policy organisation, told AFP. 'Migrants are well aware of the risks, but with no legal pathways and families relying on remittances from Saudi Arabia or the Emirates, many feel they have no choice," she added. Last month, at least eight people died after smugglers forced 150 migrants off a boat in the Red Sea, according to the IOM. The vessel that sank off Abyan was carrying mostly Ethiopian migrants, according to the province's security directorate and an IOM source. On their way to the Gulf, migrants cross the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the narrow waterway at the mouth of the Red Sea that is a major route for international trade, as well as for migration and human trafficking. Upon reaching Yemen, the poorest country on the Arabian Peninsula, migrants frequently encounter additional threats to their safety, as tens and thousands become stranded there and suffer abuse and exploitation.
