Raksha Bandhan 2023: Rakshabandhan, a symbol of brother-sister love, is on 30 August 2023 this year. This auspicious festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated every year on the full moon date of Shukla Paksha of the month of Sawan. On this day, sisters tie rakhis on the wrists of their brothers and pray for their long life. On the other hand, by tying the thread of protection in the form of love, the brothers take a pledge to protect the sister throughout her life. Also, gifts are given to the sisters. The festival of Raksha Bandhan is a symbol of the unbreakable love of brother and sister. This festival is considered very auspicious, but this year Raksha Bandhan is under the shadow of Bhadra, and according to religious scriptures, brothers should not tie rakhi during Bhadrakal. Tying Rakhi at this time is not considered auspicious. In such a situation, let us know when when is Bhadra on Rakshabandhan this year and what is the auspicious time to tie Rakhi…
Bhadra's Shadow on Raksha Bandhan
This year, the full moon date of the month of Sawan is on 30 August, but on this day there is a shadow of Bhadra. It is said that if there is a shadow of Bhadra on the full moon date of Shravan, then Rakhi is not tied till Bhadrakal. Rakhi should be tied only after its completion because tying rakhi in Bhadra period is not considered auspicious.
Bhadra Timings on Raksha Bandhan 2023
This year, the full moon date of the month of Sawan is starting from 10.58 am on 30 August. It will end on August 31 at 07.05 am. Bhadra is starting from the beginning of the full moon date on August 30 i.e. from 10:58 in the morning and till 09:01 in the night.
In such a situation, on August 30, due to Bhadra, there is no auspicious time to tie Rakhi in the day. On this day, after 9 o'clock at the night, it is auspicious time to tie Rakhi. This auspicious time is the next day August 31 at 07:05. Bhadra is not there at this time. In such a situation, from 9 to 31 August at 7 am, sisters can tie rakhi to their brothers.
What is Bhadra?
Special care is taken of Bhadrakal on the festival of Raksha Bandhan. There is a mythological belief behind not tying Rakhi in Bhadra. According to belief, Lankapati King Ravana had tied Rakhi to his sister at the time of Bhadra itself. Ravana was annihilated because of tying rakhi in Bhadrakal. Based on this belief, whenever there is Bhadrakal, then at that time sisters do not tie rakhi on the wrist of their brothers. Apart from this, Lord Shiva performs Tandav dance in Bhadrakal, for this reason also auspicious work is not done in Bhadra.
