Rakshabandhan 2026 date and importance of auspicious time
In Sanatan Dharma, calculation of Panchang has great importance for performing any big and sacred ritual. Keeping in mind the time of beginning and end of Sawan Purnima Tithi in the year 2026, astrologers have determined some special and Amrit Choghadiya times for tying Rakhi. According to the scriptures, whenever Rakhi is tied to a brother, special care should be taken that Rahukaal or inauspicious yoga is not going on at that time. Tying Rakhi at the right time not only brings sweetness and strength to the brother-sister relationship, but also removes negative energies and instills positivity in the house. This year too, according to the Panchang, afternoon time and some part of Pradosh period is considered best for tying Rakhi, complete information of which can be obtained on the basis of astrological rules.
Shadow of Bhadra period: Why is it considered taboo to tie Rakhi at this time?
According to mythology and astrological scriptures, special attention is paid to Bhadra Kaal on the day of Rakshabandhan. It is believed that Lankapati Ravana’s sister had tied Rakhi to Ravana during Bhadra period itself, as a result of which Ravana’s entire clan was destroyed in the same year. This is the reason that from then till today it is considered a strict rule that Rakhi should never be tied on the brother’s wrist during Bhadra period. Bhadra is the daughter of Sun God and sister of Shani Dev, whose nature is considered very cruel and fierce. If Bhadra’s shadow is present while tying Rakhi, it may bring trouble or obstacles in the brother’s life. Therefore, every sister is advised to check the end time of Bhadra Kaal with the help of her priest or almanac and only then tie the Raksha Sutra with joy.
Correct method of tying Rakhi and rules for decorating the plate
The festival of Rakshabandhan is not just a formality, but it is completely a sacred religious ritual, which should be completed with due diligence. While decorating the Rakhi thali, Roli, Akshat (whole grains of rice), sandalwood, lamp, some sweets and coconut should be kept in it. First of all, the sister should apply kumkum and akshat tilak on the brother’s forehead, which is a symbol of victory and good fortune. After this, Raksha Sutra i.e. Rakhi should be tied on the brother’s right wrist and he should pray to God for his long life and bright future. It is considered very auspicious to sweeten the brother’s mouth immediately after tying Rakhi. Along with this, the brother gives gifts or blessings to the sister according to his ability and love, which further deepens this sacred relationship.
