About Chandra Grahan 2025
Meaning & Significance of Chandra Grahan
Chandra Grahan or Lunar Eclipse is the cause of Moon. It is the astronomical condition when the moon comes directly behind the earth and falls in its shadow. This can happen when the sun, earth and moon are situated in a straight line in this order. Due to this quadrant restriction, Moon can be understood only on full moon.
Because on the full moon day the sun and the moon are face to face. Types and duration of the moon restrictions are imposed on the position of the moon with respect to the lunar astral. This form of the moon is also called 'Blood Moon'. During this time the moon is considered very inauspicious, and the rays are emanating from it are also not considered good. That is why whether it is a lunar eclipse or a solar eclipse, one should not look at it with naked eyes, it has a very negative effect. After the lunar eclipse starts, it first appears black and then gradually turns into bright red color.
