For 2025, the most favourable time for the ceremony begins at 5:47 AM and lasts until 1:24 PM, offering a generous 7 hours and 37 minutes window.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>ALSO READ:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/raksha-bandhan-2025-celebrations-unique-rakhi-traditions-across-india-ws-e-9460361.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raksha Bandhan 2025 Celebrations: Did You Know These Unique Traditions Across India?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Raksha Bandhan 2025: Best Time To Tie Rakhi<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/raksha-bandhan-2025-date-2025-08-38c4fb39612bf1a8fe58c5e6eda9722a-scaled.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9492409\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raksha Bandhan celebrates the sibling bond, with sisters tying Rakhis and brothers promising protection and care.

Since Bhadra ends early this year, the day remains favourable for celebrating Raksha Bandhan without concern.<\/p>\n<h2>Purnima Tithi Timings<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>Begins: 2:12 PM on August 8, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Ends: 1:24 PM on August 9, 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">Hence, rituals should ideally be performed on August 9, post-sunrise and before 1:24 PM, after the Bhadra period is over.<\/p>\n<h2>Raksha Bandhan 2025: Shubh And Ashubh Muhurat<\/h2>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/slide-4-2025-08-2e03e2458df85d44bba0fd5dc8fcf787-scaled.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9492410\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raksha Bandhan 2025 is being celebrated today on Saturday, August 9.
