When Is Raksha Bandhan 2026? Date, Rakhi Muhurat & Last Date to Order

Raksha Bandhan 2026 falls on Friday, 28 August 2026. If you are planning to send a rakhi to your brother this year — especially a customised, made-to-order one — here is everything you need: the date, what the festival means, and the last date to order online so it arrives in time.

Raksha Bandhan 2026 date

Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Shravana. In 2026, that is Friday, 28 August 2026. The festival is also known regionally as Rakhi, Rakhi Purnima, Rakhi Pournima and Jhulan Purnima.

What Raksha Bandhan celebrates

Raksha Bandhan honours the bond between brothers and sisters. A sister ties a rakhi — a sacred thread — around her brother's wrist as a symbol of love and protection, and the brother in return promises to look after her. Today the festival lovingly includes cousins, chosen family, and Bhaiya-Bhabhi (brother and sister-in-law) too.

Last date to order a customised rakhi online

Because a personalised rakhi is 3D-printed and made to order, we recommend ordering early. Here is a simple guide:

• Order by 24 August 2026 — guaranteed PAN India delivery for Raksha Bandhan.
• Metro cities — usually a little faster; WhatsApp us to confirm.
• Sending abroad? Message us early so we can arrange timing.

Each rakhi is dispatched within 2–4 days of ordering, then shipped tracked and insured.

Make it a rakhi he remembers

This year, skip the thread that is forgotten by September. A customised rakhi from Tathastu is personalised with a name, photo or secret message, and becomes a keychain keepsake your brother keeps for years. Choose from gaming, cricket, superhero, cartoon, name, photo and family rakhi sets.
