Raksha Bandhan celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. A sister ties a rakhi on her brother’s wrist and wishes him a long and happy life; he promises to protect her.
Tithi: Shravana Purnima. The rakhi is tied outside the Bhadra period.
Tradition avoids tying the rakhi during Bhadra. Bhadra timing differs a little by city, so check your local timing.
