Why is Raksha Bandhan on Fri 4 Aug or Sat 5 Aug in Pāthardi?
Smarta · Vaishnava · Raksha Bandhan is on Fri 4 Aug, after bhadra ends at 00:43 Sat.
Raksha Bandhan muhurat: the time after bhadra, at 00:43 Sat.
Purnima holds all of aparahna, 13:52–16:28. Purnima: 11:51 to 13:39 Sat.
Purnima ended at 13:39; aparahna is Pratipada. Purnima: 11:51 Fri to 13:39.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 11:51 on Fri 4 Aug to 13:39 on Sat 5 Aug, so only Friday’s aparahna (13:52–16:28) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 00:43 Sat, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 00:43 Sat.
Purnima lasts past the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise on Sat 5 Aug (until 08:42), so the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite in that day’s aparahna: Sat 5 Aug.
