Raksha Bandhan 2025 : Rakshabandhan is the main festival of Hindus which is celebrated on the full moon day of Shravan month. This is a festival binding siblings with affection. This festival is a symbol of unwavering love of brother and sister. This year, this holy festival will be celebrated across the country on 9 August 2025.
On Rakshabandhan symbolizing the unwavering love of siblings, sisters tie a rakhi on the wrist of their brothers and wish for their long life, happiness, prosperity and success. In return, siblings pledge to protect the sisters. Rakhi is not just a thread, but a symbol of unwavering love, tradition and belief of brother and sister.
In such a situation, when you go to buy a rakhi, it is important to take care of its religious importance. There are some ashes that are not considered auspicious to bind. Let us know what kind of rakhis should be avoided on Rakshabandhan.
Nowadays there are many designs of ashes available in the market, such as bracelet -like ash or fashion - ash. They are definitely attractive to see, but they are not considered auspicious from religious terms. The importance of Rakshabandhan is in a sacred and sattvic thread, so do not choose such ashes on this occasion.
Many people wear ‘Evil Eye’ rakhi to save their brother from sight. Although its purpose is to protect the brother, but religiously it is not considered auspicious. It is considered a symbol associated with negative energy. Instead, choose Rudraksha, Tulsi garland or ash made of yellow thread.
In Hindu culture, black color is considered associated with negative energy. Therefore, a black rakhi should not be tied on auspicious festival like Rakshabandhan. Although plastic ash can look beautiful and durable, they are neither good for the environment nor are they considered auspicious in religious terms. They can have a negative effect on the brother.
Some of the ashes have pictures of Lord Krishna, Ganesh ji or other deities. However, it is unfair to wear such ashes according to astrology and religious beliefs. After wearing a rakhi, it is common to fall on the ground, break or throw later, which can unknowingly insult the deities.
