A lunar eclipse phenomenon occurs when the Moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow. This occurs only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned, with Earth between the other two

According to the Hindu tradition, no religious or auspicious practice is performed at the time of the lunar eclipse. Many famous temples across the country also remain closed, with the face of the deity covered during the period. People performing puja are instructed to do it before or after the eclipse. During lunar eclipse, people are advised to take a bath before and after the lunar eclipse. They also avoid cooking or consuming food during that period.
