Why is Raksha Bandhan on Fri 8 Aug or Sat 9 Aug in Sevan?
Smarta · Vaishnava · Raksha Bandhan is on Fri 8 Aug, after bhadra ends at 00:22 Sat.
Raksha Bandhan muhurat: the time after bhadra, at 00:22 Sat.
Purnima holds all of aparahna, 14:29–17:18. Purnima: 12:42 to 11:55 Sat.
Purnima ended at 11:55; aparahna is Pratipada. Purnima: 12:42 Fri to 11:55.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Aparahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The rakhi is tied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day, outside bhadra. Purnima runs from 12:42 on Fri 8 Aug to 11:55 on Sat 9 Aug, so only Friday’s aparahna (14:29–17:18) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 00:22 Sat, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 00:22 Sat.
Purnima lasts past the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise on Sat 9 Aug (until 08:53), so the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite in that day’s aparahna: Sat 9 Aug.
