rakhi date: Rakhi on August 30 or 31? Here is when different temples are celebrating
The festival of Rakshabandhan will be celebrated on two days this year, August 30 and 31, due to uncertainty surrounding the most auspicious moment for tying the ceremonial rakhi. The confusion revolves around the concept of 'Bhadra Kaal,' a period in which performing any auspicious rituals is discouraged by certain priests. However, temple priests claim that the occasion doesn't necessitate any specific puja, warranting celebration on August 30 as well.
