Windows are computed for this city — the tithi decides which are valid, so they shift with your location and are not the Indian times. Abhijit and Rahu Kaal belong to the day itself rather than to the festival.

Raksha Bandhan is the tying of the rakhi — a sister binds a thread on her brother’s wrist and he undertakes to protect her. It falls on the full moon of Shravana.
The thread should be tied during Aparahna, the afternoon window, and never during Bhadra, which is why the auspicious hours below matter more than the calendar date. Sweets and a gift follow the tying.
