Raksha Bandhan 2026: Correct Date and Muhurat for Delhi
· India · LiveMint, Times of India
Raksha Bandhan 2026 will be celebrated on August 28, 2026, in Delhi and most of North India. While the Purnima tithi begins on August 27, the festival is traditionally determined by the presence of the tithi at sunrise, which occurs on August 28. The Bhadra Kaal, a period considered unsuitable for auspicious rituals, ends before sunrise on August 28, allowing for morning ceremonies. The main shubh muhurat for tying Rakhi in Delhi is from 5:57 am to 9:48 am. Residents in other parts of India are advised to check their local panchang for specific timings.
Why it matters
This clarification helps families across North India perform traditional Rakhi rituals during the correct auspicious window, avoiding the confusion caused by the Purnima tithi overlap.
