Chandra Grahan in December 2011 in India – Chandragrahan – Lunar Eclipse December 10, 2011

Chandra Grahan, Total Lunar Eclipse, will take place on December 10, 2011 in India. According to NASA, the Chandra Grahan is a Total lunar eclipse and is visible in India, Dubai, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and United States. The Chandragrahan will be taking place in India between 6:16 PM on December 10 to 9:48 PM on December 10, 2011.

Total Lunar Eclipse - the moon is fully covered - is from 7:36 PM to 8:37 PM on December 10, 2011.

The eclipse in India begins during moonrise so the initial phase of eclipse will not be visible in most parts of India. The time is same throughout India as per NASA.

The following map shows the detail view of the Chandra Grahan on December 10, 2011 early morning around the world:

Chandra Grahan and Hindus
Usually during a Chandra Grahan, a fast (Upvaas) is observed by certain communities in Hindu religion. The fast begins about 9 hours before the beginning of Chandra Grahan.
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 Surya and Chandra are under the influence of Rahu. Pregnant women chant the Santana Gopala Mantra.

lunar eclipse. cool!

Anonymous said...

If i am right, Pregnant women should not come
out of their room , and the room should be completely closed.. no windows should be open.
and very importantly she should not see the eclipse, wheter solar or lunar...
inside the room she should chant Santhana gopala mantra or any krishna related slogams.
most importantly she shold not cut any thing during the eclipse time..(like vegetables or papers etc.)...comes to eating..she can eat sweets and can consume milk...
