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.

Could you please let me know if I as a Hindus should be observing any precautions during that time. Should I convert the time of eclipse in India to vancouver time. It is almost about time for the eclipse to start. Could you please reply to this at your earliest. Thanks
