On Holi, the year’s first lunar eclipse will occur. From a religious perspective, the Sutak period begins before the moon eclipse. Find out here if Holika Dahan will be subject to the Sutak period in such a case.
When the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, an astronomical phenomenon known as a lunar eclipse takes place. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth’s shadow fully covers the Moon. The moon becomes red during a total lunar eclipse, which is known as a Blood Moon.
On March 14, Holi, the first lunar eclipse of the year, will occur. On the full moon of the month of Phalgun, Holi is celebrated. Find out here when the lunar eclipse will take place according to Indian time, if it will be visible from India, and whether its Sutak duration will be valid.
Time Of Lunar Eclipse | Chandra Grahan Time
On Friday, March 14, there will be the year’s first lunar eclipse. This lunar eclipse is scheduled to occur between 9:27 am and 12:28 pm Indian time. At the same time, the moon eclipse will finish entirely on Holi at 3:30 pm.
Will India Be Able To See The Moon Eclipse?
It is going to be dawn in India when the moon eclipse occurs. This moon eclipse will not be seen from India under such circumstances. Australia, Western Africa, Europe, the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic oceans, as well as North and South America, will all be able to see this red moon.
Will There Be Sutak Kaal On Holika Dahan?
Nine hours before the eclipse, Sutak Kaal begins. It is believed by religious people that Sutak Kaal is an unlucky period. Many works are currently restricted. Although the Sutak period may begin on the night of Holika Dahan if the eclipse occurs in the morning on Holi, many people are perplexed by the fact that the Sutak period is not applicable in locations where the lunar eclipse cannot be viewed.
In this case, even on Holika Dahan, the Sutak time of the lunar eclipse that occurs on the day of Holi would not be legitimate.
