Rakshabandhan is a festival of brother-sister love. On this day, the sister ties a rakhi to her brother and the brother vows to protect his sister. But do you know why Bhadra is mentioned every year in Rakshabandhan. Today we will tell you what Bhadra is.
Rakshabandhan
Like every year, this year too, preparations for the Rakshabandhan festival are in full swing. This time the festival of Rakshabandhan is going to be celebrated on Monday, 19 August. This time too, Rakshabandhan is going to be under the shadow of Bhadra. No auspicious work is done during Bhadra period. But the question is why Bhadra period is considered inauspicious and why Bhadra period is there on Rakshabandhan every year. Today we will tell you what is Bhadra Kaal.
Bhadra is the daughter of Lord Surya
Bhadra is the daughter of Lord Surya and sister of Shani Dev, who is said to be as strict as her brother Shani Dev. To control her harsh nature, Lord Brahma gave her a place in Vishti Karan, an important part of time calculation. This period is considered Bhadra Kaal and worship etc. is prohibited in this. On the day of Raksha Bandhan, sisters pray to God for the long life of their brother and tie Rakhi to him. For this reason, Rakhi should not be tied in Bhadra Kaal. According to Hindu beliefs, Ravana’s sister tied Rakhi to him in Bhadra Kaal, after which he was killed.
Why is Bhadra Kaal on Rakhi
Let us tell you that the coincidence of Bhadra is made only on some special dates. Like Chaturthi, Ashtami, Ekadashi and Purnima. Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the day of Sawan Purnima, so Bhadra Kaal also occurs on the day of Raksha Bandhan. Bhadra resides on the earth on the day of Purnima, so no auspicious work should be done during this time. On the other hand, the time of Bhadra starting on Raksha Bandhan is from 5.53 am, after which it will remain till 1.32 pm. This Bhadra will reside in the underworld. In Hindu religion, Bhadra Kaal is definitely considered before tying Rakhi on Raksha Bandhan. Rakhi is tied only after this. Before celebrating the festival of Raksha Bandhan, you should also see the Muhurta, so that the sister ties Rakhi to the brother at the right time."https://www.abplive.com/gk/shell-musical-instrument-was-first-played-in-the-central-hall-after-independence-on-the-night-of-15th-august-2761756">This musical instrument was played first in the Central Hall after independence on the night of 15 August
