Raksha Bandhan 2022: Date, Time & Wishes

Rakhi will be celebrated between 11 Aug & 12 Aug...

Every year in the month of Shravan of the Hindu calendar, the auspicious festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated to highlight the importance of siblings, especially Brother & Sister Bond.

On this occasion, sisters tie a thread, known as rakhi, on the wrists of their brothers and pray for their good health and prosperity. Sisters also apply tilak on their brother's forehead and they exchange sweets and gifts with each other.

The beloved bond between sisters and brothers will always be unique. They may fight among themselves but also love each other the most. Also, the brothers promise they will always protect them, fulfil their wishes, and support them in every situation in life.

This year Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on 11 August 2022.

According to several astrologists, Rakhi will be celebrated on 12 August. But remember, you need to tie rakhi on your brothers' wrist before 7.05 am on the morning of the 12th. "Traditionalists should observe on 12th morning as Raksha Bandhan is always celebrated on full moon day. A full moon tithi begins when the full moon starts from sunrise time itself; and 11th, technically it is not a full moon tithi," says astrologer Anupam V Kapil.

Listing some beautiful messages and wishes that are best for Raksha Bandhan:

1.  We may fight over trivial things but we know that we will always be there for each other. I will always wish for your success and wonderful life, my brother. Happy Raksha Bandhan.

2.  From childhood bullies to the best secret keepers of each other, we have always celebrated this special bond of unconditional love for each other as siblings. Happy Raksha Bandhan, brother.

3.  I cannot thank you enough for being the best brother. You have always been a great support system, my guide, and my saviour. Happy Raksha Bandhan.

4.   No matter how far we are in terms of distance, on this auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan, I am sending a beautiful rakhi for you wrapped in lots of love and blessings. We will meet soon, brother. Happy Raksha Bandhan.

5.  Every year, when it was time to celebrate Raksha Bandhan, we used to be very eager. Though we might not be in the same city this year, I am sending you a lovely rakhi along with a note written just for you. Bhaiya, Happy Raksha Bandhan!
