Bhadra’s shadow on Rakshabandhan
This year, Bhadra’s shadow is on Rakshabandhan. Bhadra Kaal will start on 19th August at 5:53 am and will last till 1:32 pm. However, this Bhadra will reside in Patal Lok and many scholars believe that if Bhadra resides in Patal Lok or Swarg Lok, then it is not inauspicious for the person living on earth. Bhadra’s residence in Patal Lok is also not ignored in many auspicious works.
The auspicious time to tie Rakhi on Raksha Bandhan
is from 1:30 pm to 9:08 pm on August 19. On the day of Raksha Bandhan, sisters will get 7 hours and 38 minutes to tie Rakhi to their brothers.
