Raksha Bandhan 2027: Date, Muhurat and the Bond of Siblings

By Astrologer Dr. R.P. Sharma  ·  May 2026  ·  4 min read

Raksha Bandhan 2027 falls on Tuesday, 17 August 2027 (as per current panchang), on Shravana Purnima, the festival of the bond between brothers and sisters.

Tying the rakhi

Sisters tie the rakhi and pray for their brothers' wellbeing; brothers pledge protection and offer gifts. The thread is best tied during the day, after any morning Bhadra period; confirm your city's muhurat.

More than a ritual

At its heart, Raksha Bandhan celebrates raksha: care, duty and the quiet promises that bind a family across a lifetime.

The rakhi is light as thread and strong as a lifelong promise.

For the rakhi muhurat or family astrology, book a consultation online from Jaipur, Surat and across India.
