Raksha Bandhan 2025 will fall this year on August 9th. It is a festival symbolizing the holy relationship of brother-sister love, trust and protection and is celebrated every year on the full moon day of the month of Shravan.
This Raksha Bandhan 2025 will be marked with great enthusiasm across the country on Saturday. The festival is not only a time of tying rakhi, but also an opportunity to strengthen emotional bonding and familial relationships.
As per Panchang, this day will prove to be favourable for tying Rakhi all day long since Bhadra will conclude only on August 8, because of which the festival will not be influenced by Bhadra.
Raksha Bandhan in 2025 will be on 9th August. Bhadra will begin on 8th August at 02:12 PM. Bhadra will conclude before 01:52 AM on 09th August.
According to the calendar, the Bhadra will get over on August 9 at 1:52 AM, and afterward, rakhi can be tied in the daytime. According to the astrologists, rakhi is to be tied between 5:47 AM and 1:24 pm, when there will be a chance of tying rakhi for a total duration of 7 hours 37 minutes, which is enough for any auspicious work.
On this Raksha Bandhan, such special and sacred coincidences as Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, Shravan Nakshatra and Dhanishtha Nakshatra are also taking place, which are giving more sacredness to this day.
The ritual of worshipping Raksha Bandhan is also necessary. The sister performs tilak of the forehead of brother with Roli and Akshat first, followed by aarti of brother and Raksha Sutra (Rakhi) by offering sweets. In this process, the sister prays to God to grant long life, happiness, prosperity and health to the brother. A gift given by the brother to his sister signifies love, respect and protection.
The festival of Raksha Bandhan 2025 is not only special on the calendar as well as muhurtas, it's an important occasion to foster family relationships and maintain Indian culture.
