Rakhi Muhurat 2022

As per Hindu Calendar, Rakhi 2022 will be very auspicious as the day is falling on the Shravan Purnima of the shravan month.

While considering Rakhi Shubh Muhurat, Bhadra Kaal and Rahu Kaal are specially considered. As per Hindu tradition, tying Rakhi during Bhadra and Rahu Kaal is very inauspicious.

It is advisable to ask Muhurat to an expert Astrologer.

Why Rakhi Should Not be Tied During Bhadra or Bhadrakal?

As per Vedic astrology, Bhadra and Rahu Kaal are inauspicious and malefic to start any new or good work. Thus, it is not recommended to tie the sacred thread of Rakhi during Bhadrakaal timings. Hindu mythology suggests that Bhadra is the sister of Lord Shani or Saturn, the son of God Sun. Once Lord Brahma cursed Bhadra that anyone who will perform any auspicious work in Bhadra Kaal will bear loss and inauspicious results.

According to legends, Rakhi was tied to King Ravana during Bhadra Kaal due to which within a year he witnessed the destruction of his empire and ultimately got killed by the hands of Lord Rama. Thus, to save your brother from any adversity and loss, it is advisable for you to not perform any Rakhi ritual during Bhadra or Rahu Kaal timings. Always tie Rakhi in Rakhi Shuh Muhurat timings.
