Raksha Bandhan 2022 Date and Muhurat: According to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated every year on the full moon day of Shukla Paksha of Sawan month. The festival of Raksha bandhan is a symbol of the unbreakable love of brother and sister.
On Raksha bandhan, sisters tie rakhi on the wrist of their brother and pray for his long life. In return for tying rakhi to sister, brother always promises to protect. There is confusion among people regarding the date of Raksha Bandhan this year.
Some pundits are telling the festival of Rakhi on August 11, while some are telling that it is very good to tie Rakhi on August 12. This year, the shadow of Bhadra will also remain on the festival of Rakhi. In such a situation, if you are celebrating Raksha Bandhan on August 11, then know these special things-
Due to full moon date and Bhadrakal, there is a situation of confusion among the people. But broadly speaking on this subject, you can celebrate the festival of Rakhi on both the days.
