Raksha Bandhan 2025 will be celebrated on Friday, August 9. This auspicious festival honors the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi (protective thread) on their brothers’ wrists, praying for their well-being, while brothers vow to protect them. The ideal time for tying the rakhi is during the Aparahna or Pradosh Kaal muhurat. Celebrated with great joy across India, Raksha Bandhan reflects love, protection, and the deep bond of siblinghood.
