The Chandra Grahan (lunar eclipse) on September 7, 2025, will be the last eclipse of the year, and people across India are already curious about its timing and religious significance. This Chandra Grahan 2025 in India will be visible from most parts of the country, and the Sutak period will also be observed as per Hindu traditions.
According to astrologers, the Chandra Grahan 2025 could bring mixed results; favourable for some zodiac signs, while challenging for others. Since this Chandra Grahan falls on Purnima (Full Moon day) and coincides with the beginning of Pitru Paksha, it is considered a rare celestial combination. Interestingly, the Pitru Paksha 2025 will end on 21 September with Mahalaya Amavasya, which also coincides with a Surya Grahan (solar eclipse).
