When should Kalawa be tied?

We can tie Raksha Sutra Kalawa on any day, but the auspicious time of the day on which the Raksha Sutra is tied must be seen. But when the Raksha Sutra is tied on the hand for more than 21 days, that is, it becomes old, then Tuesday and Saturday are considered the best days to remove it.

For how many days should the Raksha Sutra be worn

It is often seen that after wearing the Raksha Sutra, people keep it tied for several months. However, doing this is not right. According to the scriptures, when the color of the Kalava that is on the hand for a long time starts fading, its energy also starts reducing and ends after a while, so Kalava should not be kept in the hand for more than 21 days. After 21 days, it should be removed and a new Kalava should be tied in an auspicious time.

Do not tie such Kalava.

According to the scriptures, the Kalava whose color has faded should not be tied.

After 21 days, it can be tied again in an auspicious time.

The Raksha Sutra removed from the hand should be flown in a flowing river.

If this is not possible, then a small pit should be dug at the root of a tree and it should be put there.

The right rule of tying Kalava

Men and unmarried girls should tie the Raksha Sutra in the right hand.

Married women should get the Raksha Sutra tied in the left hand.

While tying the Kalava, keep the fist of that hand closed, Dakshina should be kept in the fist and the person who ties the Kalava is given that Dakshina.
While tying the Kalava, the other hand should always be kept on the head. Kalava should be wrapped only three times or it can be wrapped five, seven or nine times.

During special festivals and during any special ritual and yagya-havan, a new Kalava should always be tied.
