While Raksha Bandhan is an annual festival, this year’s edition is extra special. The festival is being termed the luckiest in 100 years due to a rare astrological alignment, which is co-inciding with the festival. (File Photo)

The Raksha Bandhan Shubh Muhurat is between 05:47 AM to 01:24 PM this year. The Purnima Tithi will begin at 02:12 PM on August 8, and it will end at 01:24 PM on August 9. (Image: Pinterest)

On August 9, 2025, Raksha Bandhan will be graced by a rare astrological phenomenon, when the Saubhagya Yog and Sarvarth Siddhi Yog will both align. The Saubhagya Yog will begin on the day of Raksha Bandhan and lasts until 2:15 AM on August 10. Active hours for Sarvarth Siddhi Yog are 05:47 AM to 02:23 PM. They both will align in the period known as Shravan Nakshatra. (File Photo)

Saubhagya Yog, as the name suggests, is believed to bring luck, prosperity and well-being. The Sarvarth Siddhi Yog is also said to fulfill all good desires. Additonally, the Shravan Nakshatra is believed to strengthen relationships and boost spiritual growth. (Image: Pinterest)

Several astrologers have noted that his powerful alignment has not occurred in around 95-100 years, which makes this year’s Raksha Bandhan truly special. (File Photo)

While Raksha Bandhan has its roots in religious customs, it has evolved into a broader celebration of human relationships and emotional bonds. Beyond just brothers and sisters, the festival is now embraced as a symbol of unity, trust, and mutual respect, and can be observed between cousins, close friends, or even neighbours who share a bond of care and loyalty.
