Raksha Bandhan 2024: Day-by-Day
Raksha Bandhan
Shravana Purnima Tithi 19 August 2024 (Monday)
Raksha Bandhan celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters, marked by sisters tying a Rakhi thread on their brothers' wrists. The date follows Aparahna Vyapini Purnima - whichever day's Aparahna Kaal (the afternoon) the Purnima tithi actually covers - and Muhurat calculations also require avoiding any Bhadra period within that window, similar to the caveat for Holika Dahan above.
