Vedic Significance of Eclipses

Eclipses (Grahan) occur when Rahu or Ketu intercept the path of the Sun or Moon. In Vedic astrology, eclipses are considered spiritually powerful periods.

During an eclipse: Avoid eating, starting new ventures, or important ceremonies. Recite mantras, fast, and meditate. Charity done during eclipses is considered 10× more effective.

After an eclipse: Take a bath, perform rituals to purify, and resume normal activity only after the eclipse has fully ended.
