Chandra Grahan 2026: Solar and lunar eclipses occur two or three times every year. According to astronomy, the event of Sun and Moon eclipse is considered a special astronomical event, but in religion and astrology eclipse is considered an inauspicious event. Many rules and traditions are followed during the eclipse. Sutak period is considered to be the most important in this. The Sutak period of solar eclipse starts 12 hours before and the Sutak period of lunar eclipse starts 9 hours before.
The first lunar eclipse of the year will take place on March 3, the full moon day of the month of Phalgun. It will be visible in India and its Sutak period will be valid. Especially pregnant women are asked to stay at home during Sutak period and eclipse. This rule is not only important from religious point of view, but also from scientific point of view. In such a situation, let us know why pregnant women are prohibited from going out during the lunar eclipse and how long will the Sutak period of the lunar eclipse last?
According to religion and astrology, an eclipse occurs when Rahu and Ketu cover the Sun or Moon in their shadow. During this period, the influence of these planets is immense. If a pregnant woman goes out or stays in during the eclipse, it has a negative impact on the baby in her womb. The growth of organs in the baby may be affected. The risk of congenital diseases may increase.
According to science, some harmful rays reach the earth during an eclipse. Direct contact with these rays is not considered good. Especially these rays can have a negative impact on the fetus, hence pregnant women are asked to stay indoors during the eclipse. With this, both mother and child remain safe.
On Tuesday, March 03, the lunar eclipse will last from 03:20 pm to 06:47 pm. Its Sutak will start from 09:06 in the morning and will continue till 06:47 in the evening.
