Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated on August 9, so there will be no shadow of Bhadra on Raksha Bandhan and sisters can tie rakhi to their brother without worrying.
Many sisters also observe a fast on the day of Raksha Bandhan. This year, the auspicious time of Raksha Bandhan is from 5:35 am to 1:24 pm on August 9. Wearing a Rakhi on this day is very auspicious. Apart from this, Abhijit Muhurat is being made between 12:00 noon and 12:53 minutes. It will be more auspicious to tie rakhi during this period.
