Total Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon Visible Across India and Globally on March 3, 2026

A total lunar eclipse, known as a Blood Moon, will occur on March 3, 2026, visible across most of India and many parts of the world including the US, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. In India, the eclipse will mostly be seen during moonrise, with eastern regions witnessing a longer view of the reddish Moon. The event lasts about 58 minutes, with the Moon turning shades of red, navy blue, or crimson due to Earth's atmospheric effects. Cultural beliefs and rituals, including the sutak period, are observed in India during this time.
