2017 Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is celebrated in Shravana month during full moon day or Purnima day.

Since there is Chandra Grahan on Shravan Purnima this year,’Rakshabandhan’ should be avoided during Grahan and Chnadra  Grahan Sutak time.As sutak begins at 1.52 pm and continue till the end of the day.And Rakshabandhan should also be avoided during Bhadra.
Bhadra on Raksha Bandhan day is till 11.08 am and sutak begins at 1.52 pm ,Hence the best time Rakshabandhan Muhurat =11.09 pm to 1.51 pm,7 pm,7 August 2017.

The best time to tie Rakhi on Raksha Bandhan is during Aparahna which is late afternoon according to Hindu division of the day. If Aparahna time is not available then Pradosh time is also suitable to perform rituals related to Raksha Bandhan.

Raksha Bandhan rituals should not be done during Bhadra. Bhadra is malicious time which should be avoided for all auspicious work. Most Hindu religious texts, including Vratraj, advise to avoid Bhadra time to tie Rakhi during Raksha Bandhan festival.

It should be noted that Bhadra prevails during first half of Purnima Tithi. Hence one should wait for Bhadra to get over before starting any auspicious work. In North India it is customary to tie Rakhi in the morning which might not be suitable time to do it. The DrikPanchang’s team believes that it might be due to ignorance. When such information is easily available one should avoid tying Rakhi during Bhadra.
