As we prepare to celebrate the festival of Raksha Bandhan, the main question is – when is the exact date and timing of Raksha Bandhan 2025? Celebrating the eternal bond between siblings, Raksha Bandhan is observed every year during the full moon (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Shravana. However, in 2025, the Purnima tithi spans across two days. This has led to some confusion as to when Raksha Bandhan is.
When is Raksha Bandhan 2025 mahurat?
According to the Drik Panchang, Raksha Bandhan 2025 falls on Saturday, August 9. While the Purnima tithi technically begins at 2:12 PM on August 8, the most auspicious window to tie the Rakhi is during the following morning.
Shubh Muhurat to tie rakhi
Date: Saturday, August 9, 2025
Time: 5:47 AM to 1:24 PM (IST)
Duration: 7 hours 37 minutes
Purnima Tithi Ends: 1:24 PM on August 9
As per traditional belief, Raksha Bandhan rituals must be performed after the Bhadra period ends, as having festivals and ceremonies during Bhadra is considered inauspicious. Fortunately, this year Bhadra time ends before sunrise. This will make sure that the Rakhi celebrations are on time during the morning hours.
