Why is Raksha Bandhan on Fri 4 Aug or Sat 5 Aug in Sevan?
Smarta · Vaishnava · Raksha Bandhan is on Fri 4 Aug, after bhadra ends at 23:13.
Raksha Bandhan muhurat: the time after bhadra, at 23:13.
Purnima holds all of aparahna, 14:30–17:21. Purnima: 10:21 to 12:09 Sat.
Purnima ended at 12:09; aparahna is Pratipada. Purnima: 10:21 Fri to 12:09.
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 10:21 on Fri 4 Aug to 12:09 on Sat 5 Aug, so only Friday’s aparahna (14:30–17:21) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 23:13, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 23:13.
Purnima lasts past the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise on Sat 5 Aug (until 08:51), so the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite in that day’s aparahna: Sat 5 Aug.
