For how long a brother removes Rakhi from his sister from his wrist, it depends on his reverence, convenience and personal faith. But from religious and scientific point of view, some beliefs and rules have been mentioned, which is necessary to follow.

From a religious point of view, how many days can Rakhi be placed on the wrist?
From a religious point of view, there is no definite time or any special day to remove the rakhi from the wrist. Rakhi tied on the wrist can be kept from Sawan Purnima to Bhadrapada Amavasya i.e. for 15 days, while some beliefs also say that brothers should keep the rakhi tied on the wrist for three, seven, or 11 days and then should be removed. Many people take off the rakhi from the wrist on the day of Janmashtami or Ganesh Chaturthi, but Rakhi should be tied on the wrist for at least 24 hours and also keep in mind that Rakhi should be removed from the wrist before the bile.

From a scientific point of view, how many days can Rakhi be placed on the wrist?
Science says that Rakhi should not be tied on the wrist for long. According to science, Rakhi or Rakshasutra is made up of cotton or silk thread, which becomes dirty when exposed to water or dust and may increase the risk of bacteria. Therefore, you should put Rakhi on your wrist as long as it is in a good and clean position. Along with this, science also says that blood circulation is affected by keeping the rakhi tied for a long time. This can cause blood clot to the wrist veins.

On this day, along with auspicious Ayushman and Saubhagya Yoga, there will be stable yoga. The auspicious time to tie rakhi on August 9 is from 5:39 am to 1:24 pm. The Bhadra period will be on August 8 from 2:12 pm to 1:52 am on August 9.
