Diwali is a celebration of the union of the goddess of riches, Lakshmi, with Lord Vishnu. Others use it to celebrate Lakshmi’s birthday as it is believed that she was born on the day of the Kartik new moon.
Khandagras solar eclipse will occur on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, the new moon night of Kartik Krishna Paksha. One thing to remember is that no matter what the eclipse is, there is no need to be concerned.
Most pundits and astrologers in India concur that none of the Surya Grahan rituals should take place if the Sun is not visible in your region. No rites should take place in India if Surya Grahan is only visible there, and vice versa.
According to Nirnay Sindhu and Dharma Sindhu, doing Homa, Deva Puja, and mantra chanting are necessary Grahan practices. The advantages of Puja and Homa during Grahan multiply significantly.
Sutak is the four-prahar period preceding Surya Grahan, which forbids any actions connecting sensual enjoyment. Vedic astrology states that there are eight Prahar from sunrise to dawn, with four Prahar roughly equating to twelve hours.
It may typically be done before Sutak starts since, in most regions, there will be a break of around twelve hours between Pradosh and the start of Surya Grahan the next day after sunrise.
