Raksha Bandhan 2023: Subh Muhurat (Time and Date)

Raksha Bandhan 2023: Subh Muhurat (Time and Date)

As the pages of the calendar turn, the vibrant festival of Raksha Bandhan emerges once again, heralding the unbreakable bond that ties siblings together. With its roots intertwined in tradition and emotion, Raksha Bandhan holds a special place in the hearts of brothers and sisters around the world.

On the night of August 30th, night at 9:02 after 2 minutes, Rakhi can be tied. Traditionally, the afternoon is auspicious for tying Rakhi. However, if Bhadra Kaal coincides with the afternoon, tying during Pradosh Kaal is considered good. Due to Bhadra Kaal on August 30th, the morning won’t favor Rakhi tying. Raksha Bandhan signifies an unbreakable sibling bond, celebrated on Sawan’s full moon day, known as Rakhi.

This year, Bhadra Kaal’s presence on Raksha Bandhan caused confusion regarding timing. On August 30th, Bhadra Kaal lasts from morning to night. To clarify, read this news.

When is Raksha Bandhan 2023? (Raksha Bandhan Kab Hai)

Confusion exists about August 30th or 31st for Raksha Bandhan. Per astrology, Shravan Purnima begins on August 30th at 10:58 AM and ends on August 31st at 7:05 AM. August 30th sees Bhadra Kaal and Purnima from 10:58 AM to 9:02 PM. Bhadra Kaal is inauspicious, making afternoon tying impractical on both days. Tying Rakhi post-Bhadra Kaal, from 9:03 PM on August 30th to 7:05 AM on August 31st, is ideal.

Why is Rakhi not tied during Bhadra Kaal 2023?

According to mythological belief, it is said that Ravana’s sister, Shurpanakha, tied Rakhi to her brother during Bhadra Kaal, which led to Ravana’s downfall. Based on this belief, it is considered inauspicious to tie Rakhi during Bhadra Kaal. Tying Rakhi during Bhadra Kaal is believed to reduce the brother’s lifespan and bring troubles upon him.

Raksha Bandhan Puja Vidhi (Raksha Bandhan 2023 Pujan Vidhi)

Before tying the Rakhi, both the sister and the brother should observe a fast. Keep Kumkum, Rakhi, Roli, Akshat, sweets, and a coconut in the Rakhi thali. First, apply a tilak on the brother’s forehead. Then, perform the aarti for the brother. Now, tie the Rakhi on the brother’s right wrist and feed him something sweet. While tying the Rakhi, chant the mantra “येन बद्धो बलि राजा, दानवेन्द्रो महाबल:। तेन त्वाम् प्रतिबद्धनामि, रक्षे माचल माचल:।।”. If the sister is older, the brother should touch her feet; if the brother is older, the sister should touch his feet.

Which Rakhi is Suitable: Nowadays, various types of Rakhis are available in the market. However, before buying a Rakhi, consider a few things. Rakhis made of silk threads or cotton threads are considered the best. After that, Rakhis made of gold and silver are considered good. But do not tie plastic Rakhis or Rakhis with inauspicious symbols.

Meaning Of Raksha Bandhan 2023

The name Raksha Bandhan is derived from Sanskrit. It means “protection” (Raksha) and “bond” (Bandhan). That’s why on this day, sisters tie a Rakhi, also known as Raksha Sutra, on their brothers’ wrists. Sisters tie the Rakhi with the hope for their brothers’ long life, good health, progress, and a bright future. In return, brothers give gifts to their sisters and promise to protect them throughout their lives.
