Why is Raksha Bandhan on Mon 16 Aug or Tue 17 Aug in Sevan?
Smarta · Vaishnava · Raksha Bandhan is on Mon 16 Aug, after bhadra ends at 22:15.
Raksha Bandhan muhurat: the time after bhadra, at 22:15.
Purnima holds all of aparahna, 14:26–17:11. Purnima: 08:59 to 11:28 Tue.
Purnima ended at 11:28; aparahna is Pratipada.
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 08:59 on Mon 16 Aug to 11:28 on Tue 17 Aug, so only Monday’s aparahna (14:26–17:11) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 22:15, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 22:15.
Purnima lasts past the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise on Tue 17 Aug (until 08:56), so the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite in that day’s aparahna: Tue 17 Aug.
