The festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated as a major festival in Sanatan Dharma. Falling on the Purnima of Shravan month, Raksha Bandhan is a festival deeply rooted in tradition and love. This festival is considered an emotional symbol of love, security, and trust between brothers and sisters. On this day sisters tie Rakhi on the wrists of their brothers and wish them a long life. At the same time, brothers also promise to protect their sisters throughout their lives. With the arrival of Raksha Bandhan, the month of Shravan ends and the month of Bhadrapada begins. Let us tell you that Rakhi should not be tied under the shadow of Bhadra. That is why Rakhi is tied, keeping Bhadra in mind. This year there is confusion about the date of Raksha Bandhan and whether Rakhi will be celebrated on 8 August or 9 August. The decision will be taken according to the auspicious time. In such a situation, let us know when Rakshabandhan 2025 is and what the auspicious time to tie Rakhi is.
