Lunar Eclipse 2026
The first lunar eclipse of the year is scheduled to occur on March 3, 2026, and in Hinduism, an eclipse is considered an inauspicious event. Therefore, no auspicious or auspicious work is performed until the eclipse ends.

If death occurs during an eclipse...
An eclipse is considered an inauspicious time, but if someone dies during an eclipse, can the last rites be performed or not? Let's find out what rules our scriptures state regarding this.

Should a funeral be performed during an eclipse or not?
According to religious beliefs, if someone dies during an eclipse, one should wait until the end of the eclipse before performing the last rites. Lighting a fire during an eclipse is considered inauspicious.

This is also an important rule:
According to scriptures, it is not advisable to keep a dead body for a long time for cremation. Therefore, if waiting is not possible in an emergency, the last rites can be performed even during the eclipse.

Purification is essential.
If someone dies and the funeral is performed during the eclipse, the first thing to do is bathe and clean yourself and your home as soon as the eclipse ends. The negative effects of the eclipse only end after the eclipse ends.
