(News18 Hindi)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Rakshabandhan, the joyous festival celebrating the eternal bond between brothers and sisters, is one of the most cherished occasions in Hindu culture. On this day, sisters tie a sacred Rakhi thread on their brothers\u2019 wrists, praying for their well-being, while brothers pledge to protect their sisters.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">In 2025, Rakshabandhan falls on Saturday, August 9. This year, the festival comes with an auspicious window of over seven and a half hours to perform the Rakhi ritual. What makes it even more special is that the day will be completely <em>Bhadra<\/em>-free, allowing celebrations to begin right from the morning.<\/p>\n<h2>Auspicious Muhurata for Rakshabandhan 2025<\/h2>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">According to the Hindu calendar, Rakshabandhan is celebrated on <em>Sawan Purnima<\/em>, the full moon day that marks the conclusion of the sacred month of Sawan, beloved to Lord Shiva. This year, <em>Sawan Purnima<\/em> begins at 2:12 PM on August 8 and ends at 1:24 PM on August 9.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The auspicious time for tying Rakhi on August 9 starts at 5:47 AM and continues till 1:24 PM, providing a total of 7 hours and 10 minutes to celebrate the ritual.<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid Tying Rakhi During Rahukaal<\/h2>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Despite the <em>Bhadra<\/em>-free <em>muhurta<\/em>, Rakhi should not be tied during <em>Rahukaal<\/em>, which falls between 9:07 AM and 10:47 AM on the same day. <em>Rahukaal<\/em>, lasting for 1 hour and 40 minutes, is considered inauspicious for performing any sacred or important tasks.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">In astrology, Rahu is a shadow planet associated with confusion, misfortune, and delay. That is why no new ventures, rituals, or auspicious ceremonies are recommended during Rahukaal, including the tying of Rakhi.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-4036394023 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-4036394023 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/ul>\n<div class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-4036394023 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/astrology\/\">astrology<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Raksha Bandhan 2025: 7.5-Hour Muhurat To Tie Rakhi, Rahukaal To Last 1 Hour, 40 Minutes<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
