This year, Raksha Bandhan is set to be celebrated during the nighttime hours of August 30, departing from the traditional practice of observing the festival throughout the day and in the morning, as done in previous years.
In India, the annual festival of Raksha Bandhan holds significance as it honors the enduring connection between siblings, symbolized by sisters tying Rakhis around their brothers’ wrists. This celebration falls on the full moon day, known as Poornima Tithi, within the Shukla Paksha of the Shravan Maas (Sawan month).
