This festival is an important occasion for brothers and sisters. It is marked on the full moon day or Purnima of Shravan or Sawan month. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi on their brothers’ wrists and wish for their long, prosperous, and happy life. The brothers promise to fulfill their responsibility and protect their sisters throughout their lives. This Hindu festival symbolizes the loving bond between a brother and sister. As per religious beliefs, tying a rakhi has a lot of importance and brings prosperity.
This year, Sawan Purnima will fall on 11 August. The Purnima Tithi will begin [in India] at 10:38 am on 11 August and end at 7:05 am on 12 August, 2022. However, Bhadra is also taking place with the full moon and will last during the first half of Purnima Tithi. According to Drik Panchang, Aparahna is the best time to tie rakhi and perform rituals on Raksha Bandhan, which is late afternoon. Moreover, it is believed that rituals must not be performed during Bhadra as Hindu scriptures indicate that it is a malicious time that should be avoided for all auspicious work. According to Drik Panchang, the Raksha Bandhan Bhadra will end at 8:51 pm. Therefore, Raksha Bandhan will start on the evening of Thursday, 11 August, and last till Friday, 12 August.
