What is rakshabandhan 2022?

Raksha Bandhan in 2022 was celebrated on August 11th and 12th. There was some debate regarding the exact date due to the timings of Bhadra, an inauspicious period in the Hindu calendar.

The festival, also known as Rakhi, celebrates the bond of love and protection between siblings, primarily brothers and sisters. During the ritual, a sister ties a sacred thread (Raksha%20Bandhan%20Thread) around her brother's wrist, and he, in return, pledges to protect her. Gifts are often exchanged, and families come together to celebrate. The festival highlights themes of Family%20Love and duty.
