Raksha Bandhan 2022: The special occasion of Raksha Bandhan is here.

It's an
opportunity to embrace sibling love and cherish the bond. India as a whole
celebrates it with great enthusiasm. Raksha Bandhan is made more enjoyable by
lovely rakhis, homemade sweets, presents, and puja. Any Hindu festival is
incomplete without religious rituals. In Raksha Bandhan prayers are offered to god
and then sisters worship their brothers and tie rakhis on their wrists while
chanting the Raksha Mantra. It brings positivity and eliminate all the negative
energies from his life. (Also read: Raksha Bandhan 2022: Make your festival eco-

Bhadra Time ends at 08:51 pm on Thursday, August 11.
Shubh Muhurat for Rakhi is between 08:51 pm to 09:12 pm on Thursday, August 11.

Astrologers say that since August 12 will also be Purnima Tithi, Rakhi can be tied
at any time on that day. So, August 12 can be used to celebrate the event. On
August 11, anyone who wishes to tie a rakhi can do so, but after Bhadra time. Shubh
Muhurat for Rakhi on August 12 are as follows :

Abhijeet Muhurat will start from 11:59 am to 12:52 pm on Friday, August 12.

Shubh Choghadiya is from 12:52 pm to 02:05 pm on Friday, August 12.

Tying the Rakhi, giving gifts, and performing aarti, are just a few of the lovely
customs that accompany Raksha Bandhan. This is the time of year when families get
closer and connections are stronger. The best thing about Hindu festivals is that
they unite the entire family under one roof.

The festival is often observed between cousins and other distant relatives in
addition to the family. The festival unites people from different ethnic and
religious backgrounds, overcomes the boundaries of biological family, and stresses
love and harmony via ritual. That is what makes Raksha Bandhan so beautiful.
