Raksha Bandhan 2027 (रक्षाबन्धन)
Bond of Protection
🪔 Puja Muhurat
| Occasion | Time (IST) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Rakhi Muhurat | 5:51 am – 12:58 pm | Any time during daylight while Purnima tithi is active, with Bhadra Mukha (the classically most-inauspicious first ~2 hours of Vishti karana) excluded — the milder remainder of Vishti (Kantha/Hridaya/Nabhi/Kati/Punchha) is not excluded. A finer preference order some Panchangs layer on top (morning first, then Aparahna if Bhadra blocks the morning, then Pradosh as a last resort) is not modeled here — this shows the full eligible window, not a single preferred sub-slot. (narrower than the full classical window this year, since the tithi doesn't cover all of it.) Within this window, the best time to use is 11:59 AM – 12:25 PM (Excellent · Abhijit). |
About Raksha Bandhan
Raksha Bandhan celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. It falls on Shravana Purnima, the full-moon day of the Shravana lunar month. Sisters tie a sacred thread (rakhi) around their brothers' wrists, praying for their wellbeing, while brothers pledge to protect and support their sisters throughout life. The festival is observed during daylight hours while Purnima tithi is active, classically avoiding the inauspicious Bhadra period.
