Raksha Bandhan 2026 Date

Raksha Bandhan falls on the Purnima (full moon) of Shravana month. Sisters tie a rakhi on their brothers' wrists, and brothers give gifts and a promise of protection in return.

This page computes the Raksha Bandhan 2026 date for your city. The shubh muhurat for tying the rakhi avoids Bhadra kaal — your local panchang gives the exact window.
