Monday, Shukla Paksha. Raksha Bandhan falls on this day. The tithi is Purnima till night, then Pratipada begins. The Moon is in Shravana nakshatra till morning, then Dhanishta. Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga is formed on this day, an auspicious time for new work. Abhijit Muhurta (11:58 – 12:50) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (07:30 – 09:08). The Moon is in Makara rashi and the Sun in Simha.
The rakhi is tied in the afternoon, Aparahna, and never during Bhadra; when Bhadra covers the afternoon it waits for Bhadra to end.
Sisters tie a protective thread (rakhi) on their brothers' wrists; brothers in turn promise to protect them. A celebration of the sibling bond.

Day at a glance
Panchang windows not defined here today
Choghadiya, Gowri and Rahu Kaal each divide local daylight into eight parts. At very high latitudes (above ~66°) the sun can stay up — or stay down — for the whole day, so a local sunrise/sunset pair doesn't exist for this date. Tithi, nakshatra and yoga above are still valid.
ChoghadiyaA timing system used mainly in Gujarat, Rajasthan and North India: eight day windows and eight night windows, each rated good, neutral, or bad. A quick way to pick (or avoid) a slot for an everyday task.Learn more in glossary
