Hindu Festival of Raksha Bandhan: An Auspicious Tie on August 9, 2025
The festival of Raksha Bandhan, a celebration of the sacred bond between brothers and sisters, is just around the corner. This year, it falls on August 9, 2025, coinciding with the full moon day of the Hindu lunar month of Shravan and the Hindu tradition of Shravan Purnima.
Tie Rakhi in Auspicious Time
Raksha Bandhan is an occasion that brings families together, and this time, the entire day is auspicious for tying the sacred thread, or “rakhi,” as there’s no Bhadra period. However, avoid the Rahukaal time in the morning, which lasts from 9:07 AM to 10:47 AM. Here are the most auspicious times to tie the rakhi:
- Brahm Muhurta: 4:22 AM to 5:04 AM
- Abhijeet Muhurta: 12:17 PM to 12:53 PM
- Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga: till 2:23 PM
- South Bhagya Yoga: 9 August to 2:15 AM on August 10
A Special Coincidence after 95 Years
This year, Raksha Bandhan coincides with Shravan Nakshatra, Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, and Shiva Yoga, making it even more special. Additionally, the absence of Bhadra is an auspicious coincidence that hasn’t occurred in 95 years, making this Raksha Bandhan truly unique.
