What Is Bhadra Kaal?
┬а
According to religious Puranas, Bhadra is the daughter of Sun God and sister of Shani Dev. Her nature is very harsh and she causes unrest. She has been given a special place in the Panchang for time calculation. Due to her nature, it is always advised to do auspicious and mangal work before or after Bhadra.

Why Do We Not Tie Rakhi In Bhadra?
┬а
Two auspicious tasks are not particularly performed during the Bhadra period. First tying Rakhi and second Holika Dahan. The Bhadra kaal is considered an inauspicious period and hence any auspicious task is prohibited during this Muhurta. According to mythology, when Bhadra was born, she started creating havoc in the entire universe and used to create obstacles wherever auspicious tasks like worship and rituals were performed. Therefore, it was sent to the netherworld so that worship and rituals could be performed on Earth without any hindrance. But Bhadra comes to earth for some time and that time is considered inauspicious.
According to another story, Shurpanakha had tied Rakhi to her brother Ravana during the Bhadra kaal. Due to this Ravana and his entire clan were destroyed. Therefore, it is said that Rakhi should not be tied to the brother during the Bhadra period. Apart from this, another reason is that Lord Shiva performs Tandava during the Bhadra period and becomes very angry. If any auspicious work is done at such a time then one might have to face the wrath of Lord Shiva.

Why Is Rakhi Tied On The Right Hand?
┬а
According to beliefs, God accepts the charity and religion done with the right hand. This is the reason why the Kalava tied after religious activities is also tied on the right hand. Also, tying Rakhi on the right hand on the day of Rakshabandhan is considered auspicious.
