Raksha Bandhan 2025: What is the most auspicious time to tie rakhi? Here's city-wise shubh muhurat

The Purnima tithi spreads over two days in 2025, which has created confusion about the date and time of Raksha Bandhan. According to the Drik Panchang, the festival will be celebrated on Saturday, August 9, with the most auspicious time to tie the rakhi is during the morning hours.

Why there is confusion this year?

Raksha Bandhan is celebrated every year on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana. In 2025, the Purnima tithi begins at 2:12 PM on August 8 and ends at 1:24 PM on August 9. The overlapping dates have caused uncertainty for those planning the celebrations.
