Raksha Bandhan falls on Friday, 28 August 2026 — Sawan Purnima. Tie the rakhi in an auspicious window avoiding Bhadra kaal (the classical prohibition); consult the local panchang for your city’s exact Bhadra end time.
The festival’s astrology is protective at its core: the rakhi is a raksha-sutra, a bond invoked under the full Moon of Sawan. It is also an excellent day for Moon-related remedies — strengthening emotional bonds is Chandra’s domain.
