  • Lunar Eclipse in India December 2009 – January 2010 – Chandra Grahan 2009 / 2010 – Partial Lunar Eclipse





    Few months before, I mentioned about the Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse.

    A Partial Lunar Eclipse or Chandra Grahan will again occur in India between December 31st, 2009 and January 1st, 2010.

    Lunar Eclipse will start during late hours of December 31, 2009 and will last till the early hours of January 1, 2010.

    The Partial Lunar Eclipse starts at 17:17:07 GMT to 21:28:15 GMT.

    Chandra Grahan or Partial Lunar Eclipse in IST (Indian Standard Time) is from 22:47 hrs on December 31st, 2009 to 02:58 hrs on January 1, 2010.

    Partial Lunar Eclipse / Chandra Grahan will is visible in India, Nepal, Dubai, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Singapore, Bangladesh, Burma, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and other places in Asia (eastern hemisphere).

    Hindu Rituals during Lunar Eclipse

    Usually during a lunar eclipse, a fast (Upvaas) is observed by certain communities in Hindu religion. The fast begins about 9 hours before the beginning of the lunar eclipse.

    As per traditional Hindu lunar calendar, December 31st is Paush Poornima and the famous Magh Mela begins at Allahabad (Sangam in Prayag).

    People also take a bath in cold water and chant mantras dedicated to Lord Vishnu or Shiva like the Ashtakshara Mantra or Mrityunjaya Mantra. This is done whenever there is a Solar or Lunar eclipse. Pregnant women chant the Santana Gopala Mantra.
