How should you observe Poornima and the Chandra Grahan?
Quick update: A total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) will occur on the night of September 7–8, 2025 and will be visible across India. The phenomenon is a natural alignment of Sun–Earth–Moon and can be safely watched with the naked eye, or enjoyed with binoculars or a small telescope.
Poornima & emotional note
Today is Poornima and coincides with the Chandra Grahan. Such nights can stir emotions for many — feelings may feel sharper than usual. Be calm: maintain silence when possible, avoid reacting immediately, and control the urge to respond to provocation. Simple grounding (slow breathing, a short walk, or quiet reflection) helps.
When & how to watch
Timings vary slightly by location. Below are approximate eclipse timings (IST) for major Indian cities:
| City | Partial Begins | Totality Begins | Maximum Eclipse | Ends |

- Find a clear, dark patch of sky — no special eye protection is required for lunar eclipses (unlike solar eclipses).
- Bring binoculars or a small telescope for a richer view, but the naked eye will show the colour change.
- Dress comfortably, avoid bright lights and give your eyes a few minutes to adapt to the dark for better contrast.
If you feel emotionally unsettled
- Pause: step away from screens and heavy conversations.
- Breathwork: 4–6 slow breaths, repeating for 1–2 minutes.
- Delay important decisions — wait until you feel steady.
- If needed, talk to someone trusted or practice a short guided meditation.
