Raksha Bandhan: Do not tie these types of rakhis to your brother on Raksha Bandhan, it gives inauspicious results..

Raksha Bandhan 2025: According to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated every year on the full moon day of the month of Sawan. This year, this holy festival will be celebrated on 9 August 2025. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi on the wrist of their brothers and wish them long life, happiness, prosperity, and success. In return, brothers take a pledge to protect their sisters. Rakhi is not just a thread, but a symbol of unbreakable love, tradition, and trust between brother and sister.

In such a situation, when you go to buy a rakhi, it is important to keep in mind its religious significance. Some rakhis are not considered auspicious to tie. Let us know which types of rakhis should be avoided on Rakshabandhan.

Bracelet-like rakhis

Nowadays, many designs of rakhis are also available in the market, such as bracelet-like rakhis or fashion-related rakhis. These are attractive to look at, but they are not considered auspicious from a religious point of view. The importance of Rakshabandhan lies in a sacred and satvik thread, so do not choose such rakhis on this occasion.

Rakhis with God's picture
Some rakhis have pictures of Lord Krishna, Ganesha, or other gods and goddesses. But according to astrology and religious beliefs, wearing such rakhis is inappropriate. After wearing a rakhi, it is common for it to fall on the ground, break, or be thrown away later, which can inadvertently insult the gods and goddesses.

Evil Eye or Nazarbattu Rakhis
Many people make their brother wear a rakhi with 'evil eye' to protect him from the evil eye. Although its purpose is to protect the brother, it is not considered auspicious religiously. It is considered a symbol associated with negative energy. Instead, choose rakhis made of Rudraksha, Tulsi beads, or yellow sacred thread.

Black or plastic rakhi
In Hindu culture, the color black is considered to be associated with negative energy. Therefore, black colored rakhi should not be tied on an auspicious festival like Raksha Bandhan. Although rakhis made of plastic may look beautiful and durable, they are neither good for the environment nor are they considered auspicious from a religious point of view. They can hurt the brother.
