Rahu's head was exiled to the heavens, and due to the two celestial deities' part in his decapitation, he is said to occasionally swallow them whole for a given period of time, causing the solar and the lunar eclipse. [5] in other texts, the eclipse is associated with Svarbhanu, who is sometimes identified as the asura whose head became Rahu.

Of these, two annular and one total eclipse will be non-central, [1] in the sense that the very center (axis) of the Moon's shadow will miss the Earth (for more information see gamma). [2] In the 21st century, the greatest number of eclipses in one year is four, in 2011, 2029, 2047, 2065, 2076, and 2094.
It is so different from the names of ancient Persian/Avestan months, according to Louis Gray, that it "precludes any possibility of mutual influence" between their two calendar system. [8] [9] The Vedic solar months were grouped into six by the names given to the months. The "sweet" months – Madhu and Madhava – corresponded to spring.
It also marks the birth of Surya and is hence also celebrated as Surya Jayanti (the sun-god’s birthday). [5] Ratha Saptami is symbolic of the change of season to spring and the start of the harvesting season. For most Indian farmers, it is an auspicious beginning of the New Year.
The period is a little less than half a calendar year because the lunar nodes slowly regress. Because 223 synodic months is roughly equal to 239 anomalistic months and 242 draconic months, eclipses with similar geometry recur 223 synodic months (about 6,585.3 days) apart. This period (18 years 11.3 days) is a saros. Because 223 synodic months ...
Of these, two annular and three total eclipses were non-central, [1] in the sense that the very center (axis) of the Moon's shadow will miss the Earth (for more information see gamma). [2] In the 20th century, the greatest number of eclipses in one year is five, in 1935, though the years 1917, 1946, 1964, 1982 and 2000 had four eclipses each.
