Is Raksha Bandhan on 30th or 31st August? Check date, time, Shubh Muhrat and more
What is Bhadra Kaal?
Bhadra is the daughter of Lord Sun and sister of Shani Dev. During her birth she had the power to swallow the whole world which resulted in interference in all auspicious activities. To control her wild nature, Lord Brahma gave her a place in the Vishti Karana.
Bhadrakaal, derived from the name of a mythological figure, is considered an unholy or inauspicious time. It is believed that certain planetary transits occur during this period, which create negative energy and interfere with the alignment of cosmic forces. Therefore, it is a good idea to avoid doing any auspicious tasks, including traveling during this period.
Why should one not tie Rakhi during Bhadra Kaal?
Raksha Bandhan symbolizes the strength of the bond between brothers and sisters and their security towards each other. On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie a rakhi on their brother’s wrist and pray for their long life and prosperity. As said, Bhadrakaal is the most wrong range to carry out any new or auspicious activity and attract a bad sign. According to the Ramayana legend, Surpanaka, sister of Raavan, celebrated Raksha Bandhan during this inauspicious time, which led to the defeat of the demon king at the hands of Ram.
What is the best muhrat to tie Rakhi on Raksha Bandhan?
Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the last day of the Hindu lunar calendar month of Shraavan, which usually falls in August. According to Drik Panchang, this year the festival will be celebrated on Wednesday, August 30. However, due to Bhadra Kaal, you can also tie Rakhi on 31st August.
