Raksha Bandhan 2026: Bhadra kaal, shubh muhurat and puja vidhi for tying Rakhi
In 2026, Raksha Bandhan festivities will take place on Friday, August 28. It's essential to observe the Rakhi tying ceremony after the conclusion of Bhadra Kaal. The Shravana Purnima Tithi begins on August 27 and ends the following day. Sisters will prepare a special thali with necessary items and tie the sacred Rakhi, invoking blessings for their brothers' prosperity and happiness.
Raksha Bandhan 2026 will take place on Friday, August 28, during the full moon day, or Purnima Tithi, in the month of Shravana. Sisters in India will tie the sacred Rakhi thread on their brothers' wrists and pray for their well-being. While it is customary to exchange gifts during this festival, the timing of the ritual is also considered crucial.
According to the Hindu Panchang, the Rakhi should be tied during an auspicious muhurat, avoiding the inauspicious Bhadra Kaal. Raksha Bandhan 2026 will be celebrated on August 28, as Bhadra Kaal will end before sunrise on that day. The ideal time to perform the ceremony is after sunrise, between 6:23 AM and 9:48 AM, after Bhadra Kaal has passed.
