Since Medieval times, it has been called Rakhi, but Earlier it was called Raksha-Sutra. Sisters pray for the protection and long age of their brothers. Yet no one knows when the rakhi started, but there are several stories to be believed behind this.
Every one of you has listened to the story of Lord Krishna and Draupadi. According to this Mythological story, once Krishna’s finger is injured during the war, seeing this Draupadi tore a piece from her saree and tied it to his finger of Krishna to stop the bleeding. In return for this kind of action, Krishna promises to protect her in every crisis. And he did so.
Because of this Myth, Many Hindus believed to tie the rakhi ist to the statue of Krishna and then her brother. They believed it auspicious to start the festival with this.
According to Bhavishya Purana, it is said that, After the war between the god and demons, demons start to rule over the god, and panicked Indra go to the Bhrispati for help, Indrani (wife of Indra) listened to the conversation Indrani redeemed a silk thread with the power of mantras and tied it to the wrist of Indra on the day of Shravan Purnima. It was believed that Indra won because of the silk thread.
That is why Rakhi is celebrated in the month of Shravan, or the rainy season, as Indra received heavy rainfall after the victory.
Since then, the thread is assumed to be a powerful sutra that the sister worshiped and tied to the wrist of her brother for his better health and wealth.
In the month of Shravan or the month of the Rainy season (According to the Hindu calendar, Shravan is the fifth month of the year starting from the month of Chaitra and July/August according to the AD calendar) Raksha-Bandhan is celebrated. A full moon or Purnima is observed in the month of Shravan.
According to Panchang, (Hindu calendar), it is celebrated on the full moon day of Shukla Paksha of the month Shravan Poornima.
Muharat will start from 10:38 AM On 11 August 2022 to 7:05 AM on 12 August 2022, that is why it will be celebrated on 11 August this year.
On this auspicious day, Badhrakaal is considered to be important as during this period tie the rakhi is not auspicious. There is a reason behind this, it is believed that the sister (Shrupnakha) of the king of Lanka, Ravana tied the rakhi in Bhadra Kaal and that is why he is Destroyed. Also, Shiva performs the Tandava dance in the Bhadra, according to the legend.
Starts from 5:17 PM to 6:18 PM (BHADRA POONCH) and from 6:18 PM to 8:00 PM (BHADRA MUKHA).
