Raksha Bandhan 2027: This year, the biggest festival celebrating the bond of love between siblings (Brothers and Sisters) will be celebrated with great enthusiasm across the country on August 17, 2027 (Tuesday).

The Good news this time is that the shadow of the *Bhadra Kaal* does not loom over Rakhi, as *Bhadra* will end before sunrise.

This year, the auspicious time (Shubh Muhurat) will last from 05:51 AM to 12:58 PM, which is the most excellent and sacred time for tying the Rakhi.
