Hey there, friend! With Rakhi—or Raksha Bandhan—just around the corner, it’s a good moment to get a sense of why this year feels a little extra meaningful. It’s all about the timing, the muhurat, and that special positive timing we call rakshabandhan ka shubh muhurt.
About Rakhi and This Year’s Timing
Rakhi is more than just a thread—it’s a promise between siblings, a small ritual that carries a lifetime of trust and care. In 2025, रक्षाबंधन कब है? It falls on August 9, following the tradition of observing it on Shravan Purnima.
This year, the planet, the moon, and the stars are conspiring to make the day feel particularly auspicious. A rare alignment—from 1930—is repeating, and it places extra emphasis on timing this Rakhi.
Rakhi Muhurat & Rakshabandhan Ka Shubh Muhurt
Let’s talk rakhi muhurat and rakshabandhan ka shubh muhurt. The best time to tie rakhi on August 9 is from early morning around 5:47 AM until early afternoon at about 1:24 PM. There’s even a special phase—Abhijit muhurat—around noon, giving an added layer of positivity to the moment.
What’s neat is that this year’s alignment includes Shravan nakshatra, combined with yogas like Sarvartha Siddhi and Dvitsa Puskar, making it a harmonious day for this tradition. Plus, unlike some years, there’s no inauspicious Bhadra period overlapping the Rakhi muhurat.
How to Observe It
On the day, start early—freshen up, keep things simple. After light prayers or rituals that feel right to you, the sister ties a neat rakhi knot (or two), and the brother makes that heartfelt promise. If you like, add a sprinkle of fun, a little sweet tradition—and you’re set.
Friendly Extras and a Small Note
A fun fact: the alignment repeating after 95 years adds a quiet surprise to the day—like finding a familiar tune after a long pause. A moment to smile about while tying that rakhi.
