Chandra Grahan 2026 Timings, Sutak and Sadhana Guide.

Описание: Chandra Grahan | चन्द्र ग्रहण 🌔 - 3rd March, 2026

A lunar eclipse occurs when Surya, Prithvi, and Chandra align in such precision that Earth’s shadow falls upon the Moon. Chandra represents Manas, the emotional and psychological field within us. When the Moon is eclipsed, traditions consider it a sensitive period for the mind.

Begins: 6:26 PM IST
Ends: 6:46 PM IST
Duration: 20 minutes
Sutak Begins: 9:39 AM IST (9 hours before)

🌸 For Pregnant Women

This is a time to slow down and create a protected, calm space at home.

• Chant Mahamrityunjaya, Gayatri, or your Ishta Mantra
• Keep Tulsi leaves in drinking water
• Apply sandalwood or turmeric gently on the abdomen during pregnancy
• Engage in light meditation

Many traditions advise pregnant women to avoid direct exposure to the eclipse.

🌱 For Children

Children are naturally sensitive to environmental shifts.

Feed them before Sutak if possible
• Keep them engaged in calm indoor activities
• Play soft mantra chanting in the background
• Ensure rest, comfort, and emotional reassurance

There is relaxation in fasting rules for children, elderly, sick, and pregnant women. They may eat up to three hours before the Grahan period begins.

🕯 Kitchen & Food Guidelines

Avoid cooking and eating after Sutak begins
• Keep Tulsi or Kusha over stored food items
• Close the kitchen during Grahan Kaal
• Prepare fresh food after the eclipse ends


🌑 During Grahan (6:26 PM – 6:46 PM)

This 20-minute window is considered highly powerful for Mantra Jaap,

Dharma Shastra mentions that one Mantra Japa during Grahan equals 1,00,000 repetitions in effect.


🌊 After the Eclipse

Take a bath
• Clean the Puja space
• Light a Diya
• Prepare fresh food
• Offer Annadanam

Grahan is a period of spiritual acceleration. It magnifies intention.
Approach this eclipse with calmness. Let this be a time of silence and inner strengthening.
