Raksha Bandhan 2026: Date, Shubh Muhurat Aur Puja Vidhi

Raksha Bandhan bhai-behen ke pyaar aur raksha ke vachan ka sabse khoobsurat tyohar hai. Har saal Shravan (Sawan) mahine ki Purnima ko manaya jaane wala yeh din, behno ke liye apne bhai ki kalai par rakhi baandh kar unke liye lambi umar aur raksha ki prarthna karne ka avsar hota hai. Aaiye jaante hain Raksha Bandhan 2026 ki sahi date, shubh muhurat, katha, aur puja vidhi.

Raksha Bandhan 2026 Kab Hai?

Raksha Bandhan 2026, Friday, 28 August ko manaya jaayega.

Is saal thoda confusion ho sakta hai kyunki Purnima Tithi 27 August ko subah shuru ho kar 28 August ki subah tak rehti hai. Lekin Udaya Tithi ke niyam ke anusaar (yaani jo tithi sunrise ke waqt prevail karti hai), Raksha Bandhan 28 August ko hi manaya jaayega.

Shubh Muhurat 2026

• Rakhi Baandhne Ka Muhurat: Subah 5:57 AM se 9:48 AM tak
• Bhadra Kaal: Is saal Bhadra Kaal sunrise se pehle hi samapt ho jaata hai, isliye poori subah hi shubh mani jaa rahi hai — Bhadra ke dosh ki chinta karne ki zaroorat nahi

Raksha Bandhan Kyun Manaya Jaata Hai? Katha

Raksha Bandhan ki kayi pauranik kathayen prachalit hain, jo is tyohar ke gehre mahatva ko darshati hain:

Indra Aur Indrani Ki Katha

Bhagavata Purana ke anusaar, jab Devta aur Asuron ke beech yudh chal raha tha, tab Devraj Indra ki patni Indrani ne apne pati ki raksha ke liye unki kalai par ek pavitra dhaaga (raksha sutra) baandha tha. Kaha jaata hai ki isi dhaage ki shakti se Indra yudh mein vijayi hue. Yahi raksha sutra aage chal kar Raksha Bandhan ki parampara ka aadhar bana.

Rani Karnavati Aur Humayun Ki Katha

Ek historical katha ke anusaar, Mewar ki Rani Karnavati ne Mughal Samrat Humayun ko ek rakhi bheji thi jab unka rajya sankat mein tha. Humayun ne is bhai-behen ke bandhan ka maan rakhte hue apni sena bhej kar Rani ki madad ki thi. Yeh katha dikhati hai ki Raksha Bandhan ka bandhan sirf khoon ke rishton tak hi seemit nahi, balki ek pavitra vachan hai jo kisi ko bhi diya ja sakta hai.

Raksha Bandhan Ka Mahatva

• Yeh din bhai-behen ke beech pyaar, vishwas aur zimmedari ke rishte ko celebrate karta hai
• Rakhi ek pavitra dhaaga hai jo raksha aur shubhkamnaon ka pratik hai
• Bhai apni behen ki raksha karne aur unka saath dene ka vachan dete hain
• Sirf khoon ke rishte hi nahi, doston aur close logon ke beech bhi yeh bandhan manaya ja sakta hai

Raksha Bandhan Puja Vidhi Aur Thali Kaise Sajayein

Sahi vidhi se puja karne ke liye yeh steps follow karein:

• Thali sajayein — Ek thali mein roli, chawal (akshat), diya, mithai, aur rakhi rakhein
• Diya jalayein aur ghar ke mandir mein Ganesh ji ya kul devta ki puja karein
• Rakhi baandhne se pehle bhai ka tilak karein — Roli aur chawal se maathe pe tilak lagayein
• Rakhi baandhein — Right hand ki kalai par rakhi baandhein
• Aarti karein aur bhai ki lambi umar ki prarthna karein
• Mithai khilayein aur ek doosre ko shubhkamnayein dein
• Bhai apni behen ko gift ya cash dete hain aur raksha karne ka vachan dete hain

Puja Thali Mein Dhoop-Agarbatti Ka Mahatva

Kisi bhi shubh avsar ki puja mein dhoop aur agarbatti ka istemal ek zaroori parampara mani jaati hai. Rakhi baandhne se pehle ghar mein diya aur dhoop jalane se ek pavitra aur shubh vatavaran ban jaata hai, jo puri puja vidhi ko aur bhi khaas bana deta hai.
