First Lunar Eclipse Of The Year To Coincide With Holi, All You Need To Know
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu)- Holi festival is falling on 14th March this year. The first lunar eclipse of the year is also going to take place on this day. In such a situation, it has become a topic of 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 day in the Shukla Paksha of Falgun month, while Rangotsav is celebrated the next day. This year Holika Dahan will be celebrated on March 13 and Holi on March 14. But this time Holi is casting a shadow on the lunar eclipse. The time of lunar eclipse on Holi day 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 Australia, most of Europe and Africa, as well as the Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic Ocean, North and South America, East Asia and Antarctica.
The lunar eclipse will not be visible in India, because the lunar eclipse is going to happen 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 its cause. 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 precautions 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.
