Tonight marks the penumbral lunar eclipse. This eclipse does not have sutak because it has no religious significance.

Rituals related to the full moon can be carried out all day long.

At 8.44 pm today, the penumbral lunar eclipse will start, and it will last until 1.01 am tomorrow. This indicates that the duration of the eclipse will be 4 hours, 18 minutes.

Such a lunar eclipse is referred to as Mandya, Upachaya in the scriptures. In this eclipse, the Moon is surrounded by what looks like dust. The moon has no spiritual significance either because the earth does not cast a direct shadow on it.

There are different religious and scientific beliefs regarding eclipse.

Religious belief – In ancient times, the gods and demons are said to have together churned the ocean. This churning of the ocean lead to the creation of the Amrit or nector. Lord Vishnu took the Mohini avatar to give nectar to the deities after killing all the demons. Itis said that Mohini was feeding the deities, when a demon named Rahu also reached there disguised as one of the deities. Mohini thought that Rahu was also a deity gave him nectar to drink.

However, Rahu who was sitting between the sun and moon deities was recognised who immediately beheaded Rahu using the Sudarshan Chakra. But since Rahu had already drunk the nectar, he did not die, but was split into two. The head is known as Rahu and the torso is known as Ketu. Since Surya and Chandra had told his secret to Vishnu ji, that’s why Rahu considers both of them to be his enemies. That is why Rahu consumes both the sun and the moon from time to time which results in the eclipse.

According to science, when the Sun, the Earth and the Moon come in a straight line and the Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon, it results in the lunar eclipse.

Auspicious works that can be done on Vaishakh Purnima according to zodiac sign

These rituals can be done on Viashakh Purnima

However, despite the lunar eclipse not having any religious significance yet since it is falling on the day of Vaishakh Purnima therefore one can perform certain rituals on this day.
