The first lunar eclipse (chandra grahan) of 2026 is lining up with a date that already holds ritual weight, Holika Dahan. That overlap alone has pulled attention toward the March 3 eclipse, not just from astronomy watchers but from those who track celestial events through an astrological lens too. Eclipses tend to do that. They carry both sky drama and symbolic interpretation.
As per available timings, the lunar eclipse will begin at 2:16 pm and continue until 7:52 pm. It will be visible across large parts of the world, including India, East and Southeast Asia, Australia, the Pacific Ocean, North America and some northern pockets of South America.
