About this festival

Chandra Darshan is the first sighting of the thin crescent moon after Amavasya. It is considered auspicious, and many people fast during the day and offer prayers to the moon after sunset.

How it is observed

  • Look low in the west 15–45 minutes after sunset.
  • Offer prayers to Chandra Dev.

Calculated for Agar Malwa, Madhya Pradesh (23.70°N, 76.02°E) with a flat horizon. Behind buildings or hills the moon can appear a few minutes later.

Questions people ask

Why is the crescent hard to see?

It is thin, close to the sun and sets soon after it. A clear western horizon helps a lot.
