When is Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan in 2015?

The auspicious Hindu festival known as Raksha Bandhan is a bond of protection i.e. Rakhi will be celebrate on Saturday 29th of August, 2015.

Why Rakhi celebration vary every year?
Hindu calendar contains 354.37 days in a lunar year with 12 lunar months. This lunar calendars have a variable number of months in a year because of a solar year is not equal to a lunar year, which create difference of 9 to 10 days every year, which is offset every 3rd year. This extra month called Extra month or Adhik Masa. Therefore, sometimes Rakhi festival is celebrated in July month and sometimes in August on Shravan Purnima in full moon day according to Hindu calendar.
