A penumbral lunar eclipse (the eclipse will cover about half of the moon) is scheduled to occur on Tuesday evening on the day of the full moon This eclipse is going to be visible from Nepal for the second time this year. Earlier, a lunar eclipse occurred on 22 Bhadra. Lunar eclipses occur on the full moon day and solar eclipses occur on the Aunsi Tithi.
There is a scripture that says that chanting, bathing, meditation, and reading during an eclipse will be fruitful. It is also considered best to take initiation mantras during an eclipse. If you cannot go to a pilgrimage site during an eclipse, if possible, then you should take a bath at home. It is mentioned in religious texts such as Sindhu, Hemadri, Kalamadhav, and Biramitrodaya.
Sutak begins four prahars (12 hours) before a solar eclipse and three prahars (9 hours) before a lunar eclipse, said religious scholar Prof. Toyraj Nepal. There is a religious belief that one should not eat after Sutak begins. He also said that food is prohibited during an eclipse except for children, the elderly, and the sick.
The calendar approved by the committee states that it is a scientific belief that no one except children, the elderly, and those in need should eat after 9:03 am on Tuesday.
