Chandra Grahan 14 March 2025: A lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun and blocks the moon's light either fully or partially. A lunar eclipse always occurs on a full moon, when the Moon is exactly opposite to the Sun on the Earth. The first lunar eclipse of this year will take place on Holi on March 14, which will be on the Phalguna Purnima date. Although this eclipse will not be visible in India, it has great significance from a religious and astrological point of view.

A lunar eclipse is considered a negative event in many religious beliefs. During this time, the influence of Rahu and Ketu is considered to be increased, which can cause disturbances, suffering, and troubles in life. For this reason, it is advised to follow some special rules at the time of eclipse. According to religious beliefs, no auspicious work should be done at the time of eclipse. It is advisable to postpone worship, havan, and other auspicious works. Apart from this, it is also advised to avoid eating food at the time of eclipse. Let us know about the date, time, and Sutak period of the lunar eclipse.

Sutak period of lunar eclipse in India
This eclipse will not be visible in India, as this eclipse will be visible in North and South America, Europe, and some other countries. Therefore, its Sutak period will not be valid in India. This means that this eclipse will not have any adverse effect on the festival of Holi, and you can play Holi without any religious restrictions.
Type of lunar eclipse
This eclipse will be a partial lunar eclipse, which means that only a part of the moon will be under the effect of the eclipse, not the entire moon. This is called a total lunar eclipse.
What is a total lunar eclipse?
In a total lunar eclipse, only a part of the moon comes under the shadow of the earth, due to which only a part of the moon appears to be immersed in darkness. It is seen as a partial eclipse, and this eclipse will be visible in specific places to see it.

What to do during the eclipse?
According to religious beliefs, auspicious works should be avoided during the eclipse, but since this eclipse will not be visible in India and the Sutak period will not be valid, the festival of Holi can be celebrated normally.
