Raksha Bandhan
Regional News: The festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated every year on the full moon day of the month of Savan. This day is dedicated to the relationship of love, trust, and protection between brother and sister. This year Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on 9 August 2025, Saturday. Sisters tie a rakhi on their brothers' wrists and pray for their long life and protection, while brothers promise to stay with them for life.
But do you know that according to astrology and religious beliefs, tying rakhi to some special gods and goddesses before brothers on the day of Raksha Bandhan brings auspicious results? By doing this, one gets happiness, prosperity, well-being, and divine blessings in life. Let us know which gods and which color of rakhi should be tied on this Raksha Bandhan.
In Hinduism, Ganpati Bappa is considered the first to be worshipped. Any auspicious work is started with him. On the day of Rakshabandhan, a red-colored Rakhi should be tied to Lord Ganesha first. This removes obstacles in life and increases good fortune.
The festival of Raksha Bandhan falls on the full moon day of Sawan, and the month of Sawan is dedicated to Lord Shiva. In such a situation, tying a blue-colored Rakhi to Bholenath on this day is considered extremely auspicious. It maintains peace and balance in your and your brother's lives.
According to mythology, the tradition of Raksha Bandhan started with Draupadi tying a Raksha Sutra to Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna considered Draupadi as his sister and promised to protect her throughout his life. Tying a green-colored Rakhi to Lord Krishna on this day ensures love, compassion, and protection in life.
On the day of Rakshabandhan, one should also tie a Rakhi to Bajrangbali. This removes negative energy from life and destroys Mangal Dosha. Offer a red-colored Rakhi to Hanuman Ji and receive his blessings of courage, strength, and protection.
Tying Rakhi to deities is not just a tradition but a spiritual practice. It not only empowers your emotions but also brings positivity and energy into life. It deepens the faith and brings peace and prosperity to the family.
