Rakshabandhan 2024: The festival of Raksha Bandhan is considered important and sacred in Sanatan Dharma. This festival shows the unbreakable love between brother and sister. On the day of Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie Rakhi to their brother and pray for the health and progress of the brother. Also, the brother also promises to protect his sister. According to the Panchang, Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the day of Shravan Purnima.
This year Shravan Purnima is on 19th August and the festival of Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on the same day. Now, before tying Rakhi to the brother on this day, sisters should do some things which are considered very auspicious and lucky. Let us know in detail from astrologer Pandit Arvind Tripathi in this article.
Worship Lord Ganesha before tying Rakhi
According to religious beliefs, before tying a rakhi to the brother, sisters should place a thali of rakhi in front of Lord Ganesha and offer the rakhi at his feet. Then tie the same rakhi on the brother's wrist. Let us tell you that Lord Ganesha is considered the first worshiped deity. Therefore, before doing any auspicious work, blessings of Lord Ganesha are necessary.
Keep this thing in the safe before tying Rakhi
If sisters are tying Rakhi to their brother, then first of all bless the brother by tying roli, akshat and a coin in a red cloth and tell the brothers to keep this vessel in their safe. By doing this, the brother will never have to face any financial problem and the brother will also get success in the field of work.
put coconut in water
On the day of Rakshabandhan, before tying a Rakhi to the brother, sisters should take a coconut and make a Swastika on it and float it in the river. By doing this, all the problems in the brother's life will go away and the brother-sister relationship will become even closer.
Dress up little girls before tying Rakhi
On the day of Rakshabandhan, before tying a Rakhi to your brother, make Panchmewa Kheer and feed it to some little girls. This brings happiness, prosperity and good fortune in the house and provides positive energy in life. Also, the brother never has to face financial crisis.
