Tonight, skywatchers across India will witness the final lunar eclipse of 2025—a rare celestial event that blends scientific wonder with spiritual significance. According to Sampadak Express, this Chandra Grahan holds deep importance in both astronomy and Hindu astrology. The eclipse will be visible across India and several regions including Asia, Australia, Russia, Africa, and parts of Europe.
Eclipse and Sutak Timings
As per the latest update from Sampadak Express channel, the lunar eclipse begins at 9:58 PM IST on September 7 and ends at 1:26 AM IST on September 8, lasting a total of 3 hours and 28 minutes. The Sutak period, considered spiritually sensitive, starts 9 hours earlier, at 12:58 PM IST. During this time, devotees follow specific rituals to maintain spiritual purity.

Where to Watch the Blood Moon
Cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Bhopal will enjoy clear visibility of the Blood Moon, when the Moon turns red due to Earth’s shadow. Sampadak Express confirms that the eclipse will be visible without any special equipment, making it accessible to both astronomers and spiritual observers.
Rituals to Follow During Chandra Grahan
Sampadak Express recommends the following practices to align with spiritual energy:
✅ Do’s
- Chant “ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय” or the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra
- Meditate and remember your Ishta Devta
- Take a ritual bath before and after the eclipse
- Sprinkle Gangajal around the home for purification

Scientific Perspective
While spiritual traditions emphasize caution, Sampadak Express highlights that scientists view lunar eclipses as natural and safe. The Moon appears red due to light refraction through Earth’s atmosphere—a phenomenon known as the Blood Moon.
