Yet, due to the sacred nature of Raksha Bandhan, there is a common query about its ideal timing for celebration.

The Raksha Bandhan festival starts at 3.04 AM and ends at 11:55 PM. The Bhadra Kaal will begin at 5.53 AM and end at 1.32 PM. This year, it will last for 8 hours during Bhadra Kaal, so it’s advised not to tie Rakhis during this time. Tying Rakhis during Bhadra Kaal is considered inauspicious as it can impact the emotional bond.
