For those still wondering or looking for answers to the question of when is Raksha Bandhan 2022, the answer lies in the 'graha' and 'nakshatras'. Raksha Bandhan 2022 muhurta will begin with the full moon date of Sawan month will start at 10:39 am on August 11 and end on August 12 at 7.05 am. Therefore, 2022 Raksha Bandhan can be celebrated on August 11. Now, the question arises if everything is clear, then why there is so much confusion?
Interestingly, Bhadra Kaal will start in the morning itself and will end at 8.51 pm on August 11. So technically, Rakhi can be tied after that. It is to be noted that, tying rakhi during Bhadra period is prohibited. Not just Rakhi, other auspicious works like entering a new home (griha pravesh), beginning of new work, worship rituals, mundan-janeu rites, etc, are discouraged during Rakhi. As per mythology, Ravan's sister had tied Rakhi to him in Bhadra, and within one year, Lord Rama had destroyed Ravan. Therefore, Rakhi is not tied even during the Bhadra period.
