Chandra Darshan, meaning “moon sighting”, is a significant event in Hinduism, observed on the first day the crescent moon becomes visible after Amavasya (new moon day). This occasion symbolizes new beginnings and is considered highly auspicious. Devotees observe fasting, perform special prayers, and seek blessings for prosperity, peace, and well-being. The moon holds a profound place in Hindu culture, representing the mind and emotions, and its sighting is believed to influence one’s mental balance and emotional health.
In 2025, observing Chandra Darshan on the correct dates is essential for those following this tradition. The Hindu Panchangam provides precise timings for each month’s moon sighting. For instance, January 30, 2025, marks one such occasion, with devotees preparing to observe the rituals associated with this day. Engaging in Chandra Darshan rituals fosters a deeper connection with lunar energies, promoting spiritual growth and inner tranquility.
