Lunar eclipse has a spiritual importance in Sanatana Dharma, Sutaka starts before 4 prahara for Total lunar eclipse, if there is a moon rising during eclipse then one shouldn’t eat anything from previous day otherwise if the moon has already risen then sutaka is only for 4 prahara for Total Eclipse and 3 prahara for partial eclipse, no sutaka ashaucha for penumbral eclipse. if there are clouds observe eclipse based on the timing when eclipse begin, and it ends.
One shouldn’t eat during eclipse, one should avoid eating during eclipse and eclipse sutaka time frame, after the eclipse take bath, and if possible, try to donate money, etc to needy people or related organization.
