The first lunar eclipse of the year will occur on Holi, know whether its Sutak will be valid in India or not?
New Delhi: This year, Holi festival is falling on 14th March. At the same time, the first lunar eclipse of the year is also going to take place on this day. In such a situation, there is a discussion among everyone whether the Sutak of lunar eclipse will be valid in India or not?
Actually, every year Holika Dahan takes place in the evening on the full moon date in the Shukla Paksha of the month of Falgun, while the festival of colours is celebrated the next day. This year Holika Dahan will be celebrated on 13th March and Holi on 14th March. But this time Holi is casting a shadow on the lunar eclipse. The time of the lunar eclipse falling on the day of Holi is going to be from 9:29 am to 3:29 pm. It is a matter of relief that this lunar eclipse will not be visible in India. In such a situation, its Sutak period will also not be valid. Its effect will mainly fall on the Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic Ocean, North and South America, East Asia and Antarctica, apart from most areas of Australia, Europe and Africa.
The lunar eclipse will not be visible in India, because the lunar eclipse is going to occur during the day according to Indian time. Lunar eclipse has astrological, religious and scientific importance. From a religious point of view, Rahu-Ketu are considered to be the reason for this. According to astrology, this eclipse is going to happen due to Ketu. Rahu and Ketu are considered like snakes, whose bite causes eclipse. At the same time, some believe that when Rahu and Ketu try to swallow the moon, then lunar eclipse occurs.
This lunar eclipse on March 14 will happen in Virgo. Therefore, people of Virgo zodiac should take special care during this time, because this lunar eclipse will give inauspicious results for the people associated with this zodiac. If we talk about the scientific point of view of lunar eclipse, then it is an astronomical event. When the Sun, Earth and Moon come in a straight line, then during this time the sunlight falls on the Earth, but does not fall on the Moon. This event is called lunar eclipse.
