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.
Note: There is no need to follow any rituals for this grahan as it is not visible in India. Panchangs and Calendars have ignored this grahan mostly.

No, It has no material if the Granam is in your place or not, if Hindu then see that you worship on that day accordingly.
According to traditional way , when Devas churned the ocean Asuras tried to get nectar, but this was found out by Sun and Moon for which they were divided as Rahu and Kethu. At that time since they worshiped for their sins they were pardoned and one was with head and the other tail. Please be aware that Rahu and Kethu are not true planets they are Shadow planets. They move in reverse direction only. They are like some constants which in scientific purpose we introduce like (Pi=3.14), or Avagadros Constant etc. They form the Node of the moon. Some times people work ship by moving reverse, Note it should be worshiped like all other planets. The reason why we have to take bath at that time is reflected light i.e Scattered light has wavelength inverse of lamda power four, Rayeligh Scattering. The intensity is high to humans. So we do not eat as nutritive material gets eliminated of high intensity and take bath cook fresh and eat. So where ever you are light travels at 3*10 power 8 meters per sec, so please do it if you follow Hinduism. It is scientific. If u want more please let me know i will be happy to clear yours.

Hey don't worry when the Grahan is not visible you don't need to take precautions. In India, when the Grahan is not visible the panchangs and temples ignore it. Same rule is applicable in all places where it is not visible.
