Description Rakhi must be tied only on the right wrist. The right portion of the body is believed to show us the correct way. It has greater capacity to control the mind and the body; while, utilizing the left hand is viewed as inauspicious for every ritual. How long do you wear a rakhi for? It is upto the brother’s discretion to decide till when he wants to continue wearing the thread. However, in Maharashtrian culture, it is said that the brother must continue wearing the rakhi for 15 days from the day of Raksha Bandhan.
