August 2026 to Feature Solar and Lunar Eclipses Alongside Hindu Festivals
August 2026 will feature both a solar eclipse on August 12 and a lunar eclipse on August 28. Neither eclipse will be visible in India, and thus, according to astrological beliefs, they are not expected to have religious significance or impact local festivals like Raksha Bandhan. The month also includes several Hindu fasting festivals such as Hariyali Teej, Sawan Shivratri, and Kamika Ekadashi, observed with rituals and worship during the monsoon season.
