Raksha Bandhan 2024: The auspicious festival of brothers and sisters, Raksha Bandhan, which strengthens their bond, is coming in just a few days. This is the festival of Hindus and they celebrate it with lots of love every year. Raksha Bandhan signifies the love, respect and everlasting bond between the siblings.
In a recent interview with Local 18, astrologer Sanjay Upadhyay spoke about the importance of observing the correct muhurat for tying rakhi on Raksha Bandhan and the need for the rakhi to be tied at the right time.
As per the astrologer, It's important to choose the right time to tie the rakhi on Raksha Bandhan. This muhurat depends on the movement of the sun and the moon. Sisters pray for their brother's long life and happiness and it's said that every wish is fulfilled only if the rakhi is tied in the right muhurat.

Astrologer Sanjay Upadhyay further added, “The Bhadra kaal is particularly the most inauspicious time. Tying rakhi during that time can have several bad effects on life.”
This year, Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated in Shravana month during full moon day or Purnima on Monday, August 19.
Shubh Muhurat
As per the Drik Panchang, the shubh time to tie rakhi to your brother is in Aparahna which means late afternoon. If someone is not able to tie the rakhi at that time they can tie it during Pradosh time. People should be aware that they should not perform the ritual during Bhadra time.
