Raksha Bandhan 2022 is probably one of the most awaited festivals of the year. It is a day full of joy, love, and bliss. People spend this day with their brothers and sisters and don’t shy away from even traveling distances just to spend time with their beloved siblings or cousins. Sisters tie the sacred thread of love and protection, Rakhi, to their brothers’ wrist, however, in the modern era, tying the Rakhi is not limited to brothers, but also to anyone with whom you feel protected or is your safe place.

Raksha Bandhan 2022 Celebration On 11 Or 12 August?

We all are confused about the date of Raksha Bandhan 2022, whether it will be celebrated on the 11th or 12th of August. This is because the Pooranmashi Tithi is starting from 10:40 am on 11 August, 2022, and will end at 7:06 am on 12 August, 2022. We calculate Tithi as per the sunrise, so because of this situation, we will celebrate Raksha Bandhan on 11 August. The reason behind this is that we are supposed to tie the Rakhi during Apran Kaal (peak of noon), which is regarded as the most important factor while celebrating Raksha Bandhan. This period will fall on the 11th, and therefore, we must tie the Rakhi to our brothers’ wrists on 11 August only.

Now, let’s clear your confusion regarding the Bhadra timing:

Raksha Bandhan Bhadra End Time- 08:51 PM

Raksha Bandhan Bhadra Punchha- 05:17 PM to 06:18 PM

Raksha Bandhan Bhadra Mukha- 06:18 PM to 08:00 PM

It is a joyous festival therefore, one must not abuse anyone on this day, nor get into fights or arguments.
It is a sacred festival so special significance is given to cleanliness. Brothers and sisters must wake up early and take a proper bath, followed by wearing new and clean clothes.
Be mindful that the brothers must be seated facing the East or North direction while tying the Rakhi. Tying the Rakhi facing South direction is prohibited.
One must never tie the Rakhi in Rahukal and Bhadra. Both these periods are regarded inauspicious so you must check the auspicious time of the day before tying the sacred thread.
Avoid tying a broken or damaged Rakhi.

Both brothers and sisters must cover their heads while tying the Rakhi with a handkerchief, towel, Dupatta, etc.
Make sure you tie the Rakhi on your brother’s right wrist. If you tie it on the left wrist, it will bring negative results.
