Mumbai: Raksha Bandhan is one of the most cherished festivals in the Hindu calendar, celebrated annually on the full moon (Purnima) day of the holy month of Sawan. It symbolises the deep emotional bond and lifelong commitment between brothers and sisters. This year, Raksha Bandhan 2025 will be celebrated with all its traditional fervour on 9 August, as per the Hindu Vedic calendar.

The festival involves a heartfelt ritual where sisters tie a ‘raksha sutra’ (protective thread) around their brothers’ wrists, praying for their long life and success. In return, brothers vow to protect their sisters and often give gifts or money as a token of appreciation and love.

When is Raksha Bandhan 2025?

As per the Vedic Panchang, the Purnima Tithi (Full Moon date) of the Sawan month begins at 2:12 AM on 8 August 2025 and ends at 1:24 AM on 9 August 2025. Since the sunrise falls on 9 August during the Purnima, the festival will be celebrated on 9 August 2025, in accordance with the tradition of observing festivals during ‘Udaya Tithi’ (the full moon present at sunrise).

Auspicious Time to Tie Rakhi in 2025

The most auspicious muhurat (timing) to tie the rakhi on your brother’s wrist on Raksha Bandhan is between 5:47 AM and 1:24 PM on 9 August 2025. This gives a total window of 7 hours and 37 minutes to perform the sacred ritual.

Rakhi Tying Ritual – Step-by-Step

  • Prepare a puja thali (plate) with roli (vermilion), akshat (unbroken rice grains), rakhi, sweets, and a lit diya (lamp).
  • Tie the rakhi on your brother’s right wrist with love and devotion.
  • Perform his aarti, pray for his happiness, health, and prosperity.
  • Feed him a sweet to complete the ceremony.

The festival is more than just a ritual — it’s a celebration of love, gratitude, and promises that strengthen family bonds. Whether you’re near or far, Raksha Bandhan is the perfect occasion to express your affection and renew your lifelong sibling vows.
