Drik prints no exact Bhadra end time, only that Bhadra is over before sunrise. If your panjika differs, follow it.
Raksha Bandhan
On the Shukla Purnima of Shravana, sisters tie a rakhi on their brothers' wrists and receive a gift in return. Per Wikipedia, in West Bengal the day is also called Jhulan Purnima, with prayers to Krishna and Radha alongside the rakhi. (Source: Wikipedia, Raksha Bandhan)
In Jhulan Yatra, Radha and Krishna's deities sit on decorated swings with song and dance. It ends on Shravana Purnima, and Mayapur in West Bengal is among its most famous centres. (Source: Wikipedia, Jhulan Yatra)
- The Purnima tithi ends around noon, so tie the rakhi in the morning.
