Raksha Bandhan 2026: (26th Aug, 2026): Puja Vidhi, Bhadra Timings & Shubh Muhurat to Tie Rakhi
Raksha Bandhan 2026: (26th Aug, 2026): Puja Vidhi, Bhadra Timings & Shubh Muhurat to Tie Rakhi: Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated on Friday, August 28, 2026. Primary Shubh Muhurat (Morning): 5:57 AM to 9:48 AM Total Duration: 3 hours 51 minutes Purnima Tithi Duration: Starts on August 27 at 9:08 AM and ends on August 28 at 9:48 AM. Key Highlight (Bhadra Kaal): Unlike past years, there is no Bhadra Kaal overlap during the ceremony timing on August 28. Bhadra Kaal falls on August 27 and completes before sunrise on August 28, leaving a completely auspicious early-morning window for tying the Rakhi. Alternative Afternoon Window (Aparahna): If you miss the primary morning time slot, the Aparahna window (1:30 PM to 4:00 PM) is considered the best secondary timing, while avoiding Rahu Kaal (approx. 10:46 AM to 12:22 PM).
