A religious reason for the solar eclipse

During the churning of the ocean, the demon who had deceitfully consumed the nectar was recognized by the Sun and Moon Gods. They informed the Gods about this. Then Vishnu Ji beheaded him with the Sudarshan Chakra. The head was called Rahu and the torso was called Ketu. Both became immortal due to the effect of nectar, so Vishnu Ji gave them a place in the constellation. Both of them are called Paap and Chaya Grahas. Both of them try to swallow the Sun and the Moon every year. This causes an eclipse.
