Shravana Purnima 2026: Raksha Bandhan Date, Upakarma & Satyanarayan Puja<\/span><\/h1>\n

Shravana Purnima 2026<\/strong> is one of the most auspicious full moons of the year. It marks the celebration of Raksha Bandhan<\/strong>, the festival of sibling love, and Yajur Upakarma (Avani Avittam)<\/strong>, the day for changing the sacred thread. Spiritually, it is the concluding day of the holy Shravan month.<\/p>\n

For 2026, Shravana Purnima falls on Friday, August 28, 2026<\/strong>. However, due to Bhadra timings, the Rakhi celebration timings are specific.<\/p>\n

Rituals: Rakhi, Upakarma & Puja<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Raksha Bandhan (For Siblings)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sisters tie the sacred thread (Rakhi) on their brothers’ wrists, applying Tilak (Kumkum\/Rice) and offering sweets. Brothers vow to protect their sisters.<\/p>\n

Mantra:<\/strong>
\n“Yena Baddho Balee Raja, Danavendro Mahabalah,
\nTena Tvaam Anubadhnami, Rakshe Ma Chala Ma Chala.”<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Upakarma (Avani Avittam)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the Brahmin community, this day marks the changing of the Yajnopavita (Sacred Thread)<\/strong>. It is a day of atonement (Prayashchitta) and renewal of Vedic studies.<\/p>\n

3. Satyanarayan Puja<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As the last day of Shravan, performing the Satyanarayan Puja<\/a><\/strong> brings immense prosperity. It is believed to lock in the merits gained during the holy month.<\/p>\n
