New Delhi. Raksha Bandhan 2024: Many special festivals are celebrated in Sanatan Dharma, which have special significance. These include the festival of Raksha Bandhan. Raksha Bandhan reflects the sanctity of the brother-sister relationship. According to the Panchag, this festival is celebrated every year on the full moon day of the month of Sawan. It is believed that Rakhi should not be tied during Bhadra (Raksha Bandhan Bhadra Kaal). In such a situation, let us know about the auspicious time to tie Rakhi on Raksha Bandhan and the time of Bhadra.

Who is Bhadra? (Who is Bhadra)

According to the Puranas, Bhadra is the sister of Shani Dev, the god of justice, i.e. the daughter of Sun God. It is said that Bhadra has a short temper. To control Bhadra's nature, Lord Brahma gave her a place in Vishti Karan, an important part of the Panchang. For your information, let us tell you that auspicious and mangal works are prohibited during Bhadrakaal . Auspicious works can be done after the end of Bhadrakaal. That is why Rakhi is not tied on Rakshabandhan.

According to the Panchang, the Chaturdashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Sawan month is till 03:43 am on 19 August. After this the full moon date will start.
