Raksha Bandhan in 2025 will be celebrated on Saturday, August 9. This festival falls on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Shravana. The most auspicious time for tying the Rakhi is generally in the afternoon, with specific timing windows around 1:41 PM to 2:54 PM, though there can be a broader time range from morning to early afternoon (e.g., 5:47 AM to 1:24 PM or 1:30 PM to 8:56 PM as per different sources). Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival celebrated as a symbol of the bond between brothers and sisters, where sisters tie a Rakhi (sacred thread) on their brothers' wrists, praying for their well-being, and brothers vow to protect their sisters.
