Chandra Grahan *Upachchaya 5th May

Chandra Grahan *Upachchaya is a lunar eclipse that appears mostly in Kartik, a Tithi month according to the Hindu calendar. It occurs due to the related positions of the sun and moon being opposite to each other, and it can also be caused by the locations of the sun and moon in opposite directions to the earth.

Chandra Grahan *Upachchaya prevention

There are certain prevention measures to take during the eclipse, such as avoiding looking directly at the moon, as the 2023 eclipse is expected to be strong enough to cause eye damage. Pregnant women are also advised to take precautions, as the eclipse could potentially harm their unborn children.

Chandra Grahan *Upachchaya’s main points

One of the main points to keep in mind during the Chandra Grahan *Upachchaya is to avoid using sharp objects like knives and blades. Reciting certain mantras, such as Om Namah Shivaye and Maha Mrityunjay Mantra, can help people remain calm and safe during the eclipse.

There are also restrictions on food and drinks during the eclipse, including alcoholic beverages and any items related to alcohol.
