As the festival of Raksha Bandhan comes around every year, it’s time to start planning for the special day. Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a special thread called a ‘rakhi’ on their brother’s wrist and in return, brothers give their sisters gifts. The ritual symbolises protection, love, and care and is a popular tradition in many parts of India. 

However, this year, one of the most important pieces of information to know is the exact date of the festival. To answer your question, Raksha Bandhan 2023 will be celebrated on August 30, 2023. It usually falls on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana, which is usually in late August or early September.
