The festival of Rakshabandhan is celebrated on the full moon day of Shukla Paksha of Shravan month. Rakhi festival has great importance in Hinduism. The festival of Rakhi makes the bond between brother and sister even stronger. Rakhi is the festival of affection between brothers and sisters. On the day of Rakhi, a sister ties Rakhi on her brother's wrist.
It is said that Rakhi should be tied only when there is an auspicious time because it is good to tie Rakhi at an auspicious time. But like every time, this time Rakhi is showing two days. Rakhi falls on the 11th and 12th but on the 11th of August, the time of Bhadra will remain till evening, which is showing the auspicious time for Rakhi for a short period. The tradition of tying Rakhi to brother is going on since Vedic times. In Skanda Purana, Padma Purana, and Shrimad Bhagwat, the context of Raksha Bandhan is found in a story called Vamanavatar.
When and in which Muhurta the sisters tie Rakhi
is an auspicious time for any festival. All the work is done at the same auspicious time. The full moon date of Shukla Paksha of Sawan month is starting on 11th August at 10:38 am which will last till 7:06 am on 12th August. It is being told that this time Rakhi is taking two days. On 11th and 12th August, there is Bhadra on 11th August, which will remain till 8:35 minutes at night on 11th August. It is told by the scriptures that it is not auspicious to tie Rakhi in Bhadra Paksha. If you have to go out for some important work on the day of Rakhi, then you can tie Rakhi during the time of the tail of Bhadra. August 12 is also auspicious for Rakhi. There is no feeling of Bhadra on this day. Also, according to Udaya Tithi, some value of the full moon date will prevail throughout the day. August 12 is also considered favorable for Rakhi.
Bhadra's fault will not take this time
The Bhadra that occurs on the day of Raksha Bandhan will reside in Patal Niwas. Due to the Moon being in Capricorn, Bhadra is also avoided here when Bhadra is in Hades. It is appropriate to choose the time of Bhadra Puchha instead of Bhadra Mukha when it is very necessary. The timing of Bhadra Puchh will be from 5:18 to 6:20 p.m.
The correct method of tying rakhi to brother
After bathing on that day, wearing clean clothes, neroli, sandalwood, akshat, curd, sweets, a lamp of pure ghee and made of thread according to the zodiac sign of your brother. Then keep a rakhi made of silk or cotton. After this, make your brother stand in the east or north direction. After this, tie rakhi or rakhi on the wrist of the right hand by applying tilak. After this, after offering sweets to the brother, pray for his bright future and long life.
