Raksha Bandhan 2025 Shubh Muhurat: Raksha Bandhan 2025 is not just a festival—it’s a heartfelt celebration of the bond between brothers and sisters, rooted in love, trust, and the promise of protection. Celebrated every year on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravan, this festival spreads warmth and joy in every home and community. Sisters tie Rakhi on their brother’s wrist, and in return, brothers vow to protect them for life. But to make this sacred ritual more fruitful, knowing the right muhurat (auspicious timing) is important. Let’s find out when Raksha Bandhan is in 2025 and what are the best timings to celebrate it.
When is Raksha Bandhan 2025?
This year, Raksha Bandhan falls on Friday, 9th August 2025. On this day, the Shravan Nakshatra will be active and the Moon will be in Capricorn (Makar Rashi). As Saturn (Shani Dev) is the lord of Capricorn and also the ruling deity of Saturday, this rare combination makes the day extremely auspicious.
