Sawan Purnima 2026 Observed on August 28 with Rituals and Raksha Bandhan
Sawan Purnima 2026, a significant full moon day in the Hindu month of Sawan, will be observed on August 28. The festival includes rituals such as Shiva puja, holy bathing, fasting, and charity, and coincides with Raksha Bandhan, celebrating sibling bonds. The Purnima Tithi starts on the morning of August 27 and ends on August 28, with the main celebrations and auspicious times for worship and tying Rakhi falling on August 28. The Bhadra period on August 27 is considered inauspicious for tying Rakhi.
