Dates for Raksha Bandhan in 2023 and Shubh Muhurat

Raksha Bandhan falls on August 30 and 31 this year. The two dates are due to Bhadra Kaal, which is a time when Raksha Bandhan rites should not be performed, according to Drik Panchang. So, on these two dates, you can tie the rakhi. The Raksha Bandhan Bhadra Kaal ends on August 30 at 9:01 p.m. You can therefore start performing rituals now. This year, the Raksha Bandhan Bhadra

Mukha will start at 6:31 p.m. and end at 8:11 p.m. on August 30. The Raksha Bandhan Bhadra Poonch will run from 5:30 p.m. to 6:31 p.m. The full moon, or Poornima Tithi, begins on August 30 at 10:58 a.m. and ends on August 31 at 7:00 a.m.

2023 Raksha Bandhan: History and Importance

Hindus place a great deal of importance on Raksha Bandhan. One of the myths surrounding this occasion comes from the Mahabharata epic. According to legend, Lord Krishna sliced his finger on the Sudarshan Chakra by mistake. Draupadi noticed this and tore a piece of fabric from her saree, tying it to the wound to halt the bleeding. She made a touching gesture, and Lord Krishna pledged to look out for her always. When the Kauravas attempted to embarrass Draupadi in front of the Hastinapur royal court, he kept his word and prevented her from being publicly humiliated.
