Raksha Bandhan 2023 Date: The festival of Rakshabandhan is considered very special in Hinduism. Every year this festival is celebrated with great pomp. In this festival, sisters tie rakhi on the wrist of their brothers and pray for their long life and happiness. At the same time, while giving gifts to the sister, the brother always takes a pledge to protect her. According to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Raksha Bandhan, a symbol of brother-sister love, is celebrated every year on the full moon date of Shravan Shukla Paksha. This time the festival of Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated for two days on 30 and 31 August. According to Vedic astrology, the festival of Rakshabandhan is always celebrated in the period without Bhadra. Let us know when will it be appropriate to tie Rakhi, what is the exact date of Rakshabandhan and what will be the auspicious time to tie Rakhi on the festival of Raksha Bandhan this year due to the shadow of Bhadra.
Bhadra's shadow will remain on Rakshabandhan 2023
According to Vedic astrology, it is auspicious to celebrate the festival of Rakshabandhan on the full moon date of the month of Shravan and in the afternoon, but special attention should be paid to the fact that there should not be Bhadra Kaal on the day of Rakshabandhan. If there is a shadow of Bhadra on the day of Raksha Bandhan, then Rakhi should not be tied to the brother's wrist.
According to the calculation of the Hindu Panchang, Bhadrakal will start on August 30 this year with Shravan Purnima Tithi. On August 30, Bhadra will remain till 09.02 minutes. According to the scriptures, the festival of Rakshabandhan is not celebrated during Bhadrakal. It has always been considered auspicious to tie Rakhi during the Bhadra-free period. On the other hand, the afternoon time is the most auspicious time for tying Rakhi on the Shravan Purnima date. But this year, the Shravan Purnima date of the Raksha Bandhan festival is starting from August 30 and Bhadra's shadow will be there for the whole day. In this way, there will be no auspicious time for Rakshabandhan on August 30 during the day. On August 30, Bhadra will remain till 09.02 minutes. In such a situation, Rakhi can be tied on August 30 after 09.02 minutes.
However, some pundits believe that tying rakhi at night is not auspicious. According to the Hindu Panchang, on August 31, the date of Shravan Purnima will be till 07.05 minutes and during this, there will be no shadow of Bhadra. For this reason, it would be auspicious to tie Rakhi early in the morning on 31st August.
