Raksha Bandhan 2024:- Know about Bhadra Kaal
Rituals of Raksha Bandhan should be refrained from during the period of Bhadra, as this time is considered inauspicious for all auspicious activities. Numerous Hindu religious scriptures, including Vratraj, recommend avoiding the Bhadra period for the act of tying the Rakhi during the Raksha Bandhan festival.
It’s essential to highlight that Bhadra is predominant during the first half of the Purnima Tithi. Therefore, it’s advisable to wait for the Bhadra period to conclude before commencing any auspicious undertakings. While it’s a customary practice in Northern India to tie the Rakhi in the morning, this might not be the most appropriate timing.
