Raksha Bandhan 2024: The importance of tying Rakhi at auspicious times


Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on August 10.

If Rakhi is not tied at the right time, the relationship between brother and sister may be affected.

There are just a few days left for the auspicious festival of Raksha Bandhan. The festival strengthens the bond between brothers and sisters. On this holy day, sisters tie a rakhi on the wrists of their brothers. This festival holds enormous significance among Hindus. But have you ever wondered why it is important to observe the right muhurat to tie the rakhi on Raksha Bandhan? What could happen if the rakhi is not tied at the right time? Renowned astrologer Sanjay Upadhyay spoke about this in a recent interview with Local 18.

The importance of Muhurat

According to the astrologer, it is very important to follow the correct muhurat to tie the rakhi on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. The muhurat depends on the celestial movement of the sun and the moon. Sisters usually pray for long life and happiness for the brothers on this occasion. It is said that all wishes are fulfilled if the rakhi is tied at the right time. If it is not tied at the right time, the relationship between the brother and sister can get affected. Astrologer Sanjay Upadhyay further added, “The Bhadra kaal is particularly the most inauspicious time. Tying the rakhi during that time can have several negative effects on one's life.”

Why is it essential to choose the right time?

Sanjay Upadhyay explained that the auspicious time to tie the rakhi is determined according to the auspicious muhurat given in the Panchang (Hindu calendar). This muhurat is decided based on the positions of the planets and constellations. Tying the rakhi at the auspicious time enhances the bond and love in the relationship between siblings and brings longevity, success and happiness in the life of the sibling.

What can happen if Rakhi is tied at the wrong time?

If the rakhi is tied at the wrong time or on the Bhadra Kaal, the effects can be negative. This can not only create rifts in the relationship between brother and sister but can also increase the difficulties in the life of the sibling. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the muhurat while tying the rakhi.

The astrologer advised that before tying the rakhi on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, one should carefully study the Panchang.
