After Dussehra, the last lunar eclipse of the year is also set to occur. This final lunar eclipse will take place on the day of Sharad Purnima. Thus, the month of October is very special in terms of both festivals and eclipses. According to the Panchang, the full moon date of the month of Ashwin will witness the occurrence of the final lunar eclipse of the year. According to astrologers, the eclipse will begin in India at 01:05 AM and will continue until 02:24 AM on October 28. The period of eclipse Sutak begins nine hours before the start of the eclipse and ends with the completion of the eclipse. Performing acts of charity during the lunar eclipse holds significant importance. If charity is performed according to one's zodiac sign, the impact of many doshas in the horoscope can be reduced.
