When is Raksha Bandhan in 2008? Or on which date Rakhi is falling in
the year 2008? As soon as somebody mentions the name of Raksha Bandhan
the above question arises in the mind. Raksha Bandhan is an implicit
pledge exchanged between a brother and sister signifying their fraternal
relationship. The bond of Rakhi reinforces the love and affection
between the siblings against all ills and odds. Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi)
is celebrated on the Shravan Poornima day in the month of August every
year. On the day of Rakhi, sisters decorate Rakhi Thali with sweets,
dhoop, roli, betel leaves and Rakhis and tie the sacred thread on the
wrist of their brothers as a symbol of love and affection. Here is the
Rakhi calendar with the dates of Rakhi festival for the current and
coming years.
