Auspicious time for tying Rakhi on 11th and 12th August

According to the Panchang, on August 11, Bhadra Kaal is from morning till 8.51 pm.

According to Hindu beliefs, auspicious works like Raksha Bandhan are not done after sunset.

In such a situation, sisters can neither tie Rakhi to their brother during Bhadrakal nor during the night.

That is why some astrologers and ritualistic pundits consider it auspicious to tie the rakhi on 12th August.

However, this day is full moon date only till 7.05 am, so it will be auspicious to tie Rakhi or bandh before 07:05 am. 

correct method of tying rakhi

On the day of Raksha Bandhan, brother should sit facing east while tying Rakhi to sister.

Also, while tying Rakhi, the sister's face should be towards the west.

After this, place a lamp of Akshat, sandalwood, roli, ghee in the Rakhi plate.

First of all, apply the vaccine of Roli and Akshat on the forehead of the brother.

After this, perform their aarti.

Then tie rakhi on brother's wrist and sweeten his mouth with sweets.

Keep in mind that the brother's head should not remain empty while tying rakhi.
