What makes Raksha Bandhan 2025 the most meaningful night?
Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on Saturday, 9 August, 2025. According to Drik Panchang, the most auspicious timings to tie Rakhi are as follows:
Raksha Bandhan Thread Ceremony Time - 05:47 AM to 01:24 PM
Duration - 7 Hours 37 minutes
Raksha Bandhan Bhadra got over before Sunrise
Purnima Tithi Begins - 02:12 PM on 8 August, 2025
Purnima Tithi Ends - 01:24 PM on 9 August, 2025
Shravan Purnima is considered a highly sacred full moon, believed to carry intense spiritual vibrations. Prayers made on this day are said to be especially powerful. When Raksha Bandhan coincides with Shravan Purnima, the festival becomes not just a familial ritual but a spiritually blessed union. It enhances the meaning of the Rakhi, turning it into a sacred thread of faith, devotion, and divine protection. In every laugh, every fight, and every silent moment, our bond speaks louder than words. This Rakhi, I celebrate not just a ritual, but the heart behind it.
From solving my smallest problems to being my biggest strength, you've been more than a brother, you've been my safe place

When is Raksha Bandhan 2025? Date, Shubh Muhurat, Purnima Tithi & more
Tying a Rakhi is not just a tradition, it is a heartfelt ritual rooted in love and prayer. With each knot, a sister weaves her hopes, blessings and silent wishes for her brother's safety and happiness. It is her way of saying, 'I trust you, I believe in you, and I stand with you.' In return, the brother pledges his lifelong promise of protection and support. The red tilak she applies to his forehead is more than a symbol, it is a mark of honour, strength and divine grace. This simple act, filled with devotion, turns an ordinary moment into something sacred. It's a celebration not just of siblinghood, but of soul-deep connection.

Kamika Ekadashi 2025: Know the date, timings, vrat katha, and significance
Kamika Ekadashi 2025: Ekadashi is regarded as one of the significant days in Hinduism. On this day, devotees engage in worship and observe a fast dedicated to Lord Vishnu to receive his blessings. The word 'Kamika' implies 'fulfilling desires'; therefore, Kamika Ekadashi falls on the eleventh day (Ekadashi tithi) of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the sacred Hindu month of Shravana, which corresponds to July-August, according to the Gregorian calendar. This is the first Ekadashi after Devshayani Ekadashi, and those who worship Lord Vishnu with genuine devotion on this day are blessed with peace, happiness, prosperity, and salvation. Kamika Ekadashi is being observed today, Monday, 21 July 2025. The Ekadashi Tithi commenced at 12:12 PM on the previous day and concludes today at 09:38 AM. Ekadashi Parana, which signifies breaking the fast, is performed after sunrise on the next day of the Ekadashi fast. Parana must be performed throughout Dwadashi Tithi unless Dwadashi ends before sunrise. According to Drik Panchang, the Parana Day Dwadashi ends at 07:05 AM on July 22nd, while the timings for Kamika Ekadashi are from 05:52 AM to 07:05 AM. The significance of the Kamika Ekadashi Vrat Katha is that Lord Shri Hari is supreme and is effortlessly pleased with his devotees' real devotion when they offer Tulasidala, i.e., Tulasi leaves, which Lord Vishnu values more than diamonds, pearls, gold, and silver. The Kamika Ekadashi Vrat Katha is associated with Bhishma Pitamaha and Devarshi Narada; at his request, Bhishma Pitamaha describes the meaning of Kamika Ekadashi in this narrative. To read the whole vrat katha of Kamika Ekadashi, follow the link and read it on Jansatta or Drik Panchang. On this auspicious day, devotees should get up early and bathe before sunrise, followed by cleaning their home with Gangajal. This day is ideal for seeking blessings at the Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi temples or home, and offering flowers, panchamrit, bhog (kheer, fruits, and dried fruits), while reciting Vishnu Sahasranama, Vishnu Stotra, Geeta, followed by Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi Aarti.
