Raksha Bandhan 2022 Date, Tithi Time and Quotes

Raksha Bandhan, a festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters, is observed on Shravan Purnima Tithi, a day that falls during Gregorian August.
Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, is celebrated on the Purnima Tithi (Full Moon day) in the month of Shravan. This age-old tradition celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters and is observed by securing a sacred thread. Traditionally, a sister ties the holy thread around her brother’s right wrist. However, in today’s times, siblings, irrespective of gender, bless each other with a Rakhi.

The day is typically marked by a few rituals followed by a feast and a get-together. And since this festival helps reminisce childhood, siblings look forward to this day every year. Therefore, read on to know the Raksha Bandhan 2022 date and other significant details.

The sacred thread symbolises the bond. Traditional beliefs suggest that it strengthens and protects siblings by warding off threats. Therefore, brothers and sisters pray for each other’s well-being.

Interestingly, Raksha Bandhan concurs with Yajurveda Upakarma (sacred thread changing ceremony), Gayatri Jayanti (the birth anniversary of Goddess Gayatri), Hayagriva Jayanti (the birth anniversary of Lord Hayagriva, an avatar of Lord Vishnu) and Narali Purnima festival.
