An eclipse or a Grahan, are generally considered as infelicitous, whether it is a Chandra Grahan (Moon eclipse) or a Surya Grahan (Solar eclipse). The reason why an eclipse happens is that when a stellar body conceals the lights from another celestial body by marching between it. Days of Chandra Grahan or Surya Grahan, are both auspicious for charity and bath, making it plausible whether Grahan’s are favorable or unfavorable. The solar eclipse in India will be marked tomorrow on 21st August.
