As the brother-sister bond festival :Raksha Bandhan: scheduled on August 30, the traders’ body on Sunday urged the Centre to declare the festival for August 31 as the original date falls in :Bhadra Kaal:, which is considered inauspicious in the Hindu traditions.
In a communication sent to the Ministry of Culture, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has urged that most inauspicious : Bhadra Kaal: is falling on August 30 and the celebration of Rakhi during this period will be inauspicious.
Many people are confused about whether Raksha Bandhan is on August 30 or August 31st this year. According to Vedic Astrology , Raksha Bandhan festival is always celebrated in the period without Bhadra.
Every year, Rakhi is celebrated on the last day of Sawan, which is a full moon day, and this year due to Bhadra Kaal people are confused about whether Raksha Bandhan is on August 30 or 31.
