சந்திர கிரகணம் - Lunar Eclipse 17th August 2008


A Lunar Eclipse occurs when part or all of the Moon passes into Earth's shadow. This doesn't happen every Full Moon though, because the Moon's orbit is actually tipped about 5° with respect to Earth's orbit around the Sun. This means that during most Full Moon's, the Moon is actually above or below the Earth's plane and therefore not in the shadow of the Earth.

17th August 2008 - From 2.22am - 7.56am .

Take Bath after 8.00am on 17th August 2008 and do your prayers.

Nachathira to do Pooja :
- Thiruvonam
- Avidtham
- Sathayam
- Mirugashirisam
- Chitirai
