  "account": "Raksha Bandhan 2026 is celebrated on August 28, 2026. Sisters tie a sacred rakhi around their brothers' wrists to symbolize their bond of protection, love and mutual respect. Brothers give gifts to their sisters and pledge to protect them through life's challenges. Rakhi ceremonies take place between 5:57 AM and 9:48 AM on Raksha Bandhan day. Raksha Bandhan is not limited to biological siblings; cousins, friends and neighbors also exchange rakhis. The best time to perform Raksha Bandhan rituals is during the Aparahna or Pradosh periods, as per Drik Panchang.",
