Raksha bandhan bhadra Yog 2025 time
the festival falls on the full moon day of Shukla Paksha in Shravan month, which is August 9th. The full moon lasts until 1:30 PM. Bhadra period ends on the night of August 8th. So, celebrations can take place after sunrise until 2 PM on August 9th. An especially auspicious time, Abhijeet Utsav, is from 11:08 AM to 12:10 PM.

Raksha Bandhan is a time when sisters tie a sacred thread, Rakhi, on their brother’s wrist. This symbolizes their bond and the brother’s promise to protect her. Tying Rakhi has been a tradition for a long time. It is said that Indradev won against demons after his wife tied a Raksha Sutra on his wrist.
Religious texts advise against doing important work during Bhadra Kaal. It is believed that doing so can cause harm. However, this year, Bhadra ends the night before. So, it won’t affect the celebrations on August 9th.
Sanatan Dharma considers certain times auspicious for specific activities. Abhijeet Utsav is one such time. Any work done during this period is believed to be successful. This year, the Abhijeet Utsav for Raksha Bandhan is from 11:08 AM to 12:10 PM. Tying the Rakhi during this time is considered very fruitful.
