Only a few days left for the auspicious festival of Raksha Bandhan. The festival strengthens the bond between brothers and sisters. On this sacred day, sisters tie a rakhi on their brother’s wrists. This festival has a massive significance among the Hindus. But have you ever wondered why it is important to observe the correct muhurat for tying rakhi on Raksha Bandhan? What could happen if the rakhi is not tied at the right time? Renowned astrologer Sanjay Upadhyay spoke about this in a recent interview with the Local 18.

The Importance of Muhurat

According to the astrologer, following the correct muhurat for tying rakhi on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan is extremely important. The muhurat depends on the celestial movement of the sun and the moon. Sisters often pray for long life and happiness for the brothers on this occasion. It is said that every wish is fulfilled if rakhi is tied at the correct time. If it is not tied at the correct time, the relationship between the brother and the sister can be affected. Astrologer Sanjay Upadhyay further added, “The Bhadra kaal is particularly the most inauspicious time. Tying rakhi during that time can have several bad effects on life.”

Why Choosing the Correct Time Is Essential?

Sanjay Upadhyay explained that the auspicious time for tying rakhi is determined according to the auspicious muhurat given in the Panchang (Hindu calendar). This muhurat is decided based on the positions of the planets and constellations. Tying rakhi at the auspicious time enhances the bonding and love in the brother-sister relationship and brings longevity, success, and happiness to the brother’s life.

What Can Happen If Rakhi Is Tied at the Wrong Time?

If rakhi is tied at the wrong time or Bhadra Kaal, the effects can be negative. Not only can this create rifts in the relationship of brother and sister but it can also increase difficulties in the brother’s life. Therefore, it is very crucial to maintain the muhurat while tying rakhi.

The astrologer advised that before tying the rakhi on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, one should carefully study the Panchang.
