Chandra Grahan 2026: Science vs. Tradition on Sleeping During Lunar Eclipse

• Science confirms it's safe to sleep during Chandra Grahan 2026; no health risks or harmful radiation.
• Lunar eclipses are Earth's shadow on the Moon; NASA and ISRO state no dangerous rays reach Earth.
• Traditional beliefs advise against sleeping, eating, or using sharp objects, especially for pregnant women, due to fears of "toxic rays" or bad luck.
• Modern medical science debunks claims of eclipses causing fetal deformities or miscarriages; babies are protected in the womb.
• Cultural practices for pregnant women include staying indoors, fasting, bathing post-eclipse, and chanting mantras.
