Frequently Asked Questions
When will the lunar eclipse on 28 August 2026 be visible in India?
The lunar eclipse will be visible in India on 28 August 2026 with the partial phase beginning at about 09:44 a.m. IST, the total phase starting at 11:00 a.m. IST, and the greatest eclipse occurring at 11:37 a.m. IST. The Moon will be in the nakshatra Anuradha (Scorpio) at that moment, activating the 7th‑house matters for many charts.
