Raksha Bandhan 2025: 8 या 9 अगस्त इस बार किस दिन है और क्यों?

इस बार रक्षाबंधन 2025 को लेकर लोगों के बीच कन्फ्यूजन है कि ये 8 अगस्त को मनाया जाए या 9 अगस्त को। पवित्र पूनम तिथि 8 अगस्त दोपहर 3:11 बजे से शुरू होगी और 9 अगस्त सुबह 11:45 बजे तक रहेगी। शुभ मुहूर्त 9 अगस्त की सुबह उपलब्ध है, इसलिए 9 अगस्त 2025 को राखी बांधना श्रेष्ठ माना जा रहा है।
