Raksha Bandhan 2022: When to celebrate Rakhi – 11th or 12th August? Confusion cleared

Raksha Bandhan 2022: The festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated as a reminder of the steadfast affection between brothers and sisters. This event is observed on Sawan Purnima, the full moon day of the month of Sawan, every year. This year on August 11 and 12, there will be two day celebration of Sawan Purnima. There has been some uncertainty concerning the precise day of Raksha Bandhan since the full moon falling for 2 days. Let us clarify this question once for all, and see what auspicious time and knowledgeable pundits have to say about it.

Which day is fortunate to tie Rakhi, August 11^th or August 12^th ?

According to the Panchang, the Sawan month’s full moon begins at 10:38 am on August 11^th and lasts until 7:05 am on August 12. People are unsure of whether Raksha Bandhan should be observed on August 11^th or August 12^th, as the full moon dates fall on both days. According to astrologers, tying rakhi on August 12^th will be fortunate because of Bhadra’s shadow on August 11^th.

Auspicious time for tying Rakhi

According to the Panchang, Bhadra Kaal will take place on August 11 from early morning to 8:51 p.m. Hindu traditions forbid performing auspicious tasks like Raksha Bandhan after sunset. As a result, some astrologers and ritualistic pundits believe that tying a rakhi on August 12 is auspicious. However, sisters cannot tie rakhi to their brothers on this day in Bhadrakal or at night. It will be lucky to tie or tie a rakhi before 7:05 in the morning, while this day is the full moon date only till 7.05 in the morning.
