Bhadra Kaal in Australia
According to Drik Panchang, Bhadra Kaal is considered inauspicious for Rakhi tying rituals. This year, it will end before sunrise in all major Australian cities. That means you can safely tie Rakhi anytime after sunrise on August 9, ensuring a shubh and sacred celebration.
Ritual Tip: To keep the tradition auspicious and spiritually aligned, tie the Rakhi during the muhurat window, after sunrise, and always avoid Bhadra Kaal.
From Sydney to Perth, families in Australia can celebrate Raksha Bandhan 2025 with joy, devotion, and tradition. Even if you're far from home, observing the right muhurat ensures that your Rakhi carries the same blessings and love across the miles.
