In Hinduism, Chandra Darshan, or seeing the moon, is seen as lucky. On the Hindu calendar, it takes place once per month. When the Moon first becomes visible after the new moon day or Amavasya, it is known as Chandra Darshan. The moment right after sunset is thought to be the best for seeing the moon or performing Chandra Darshan. To determine the most auspicious time for Chandra Darshan, consult the Choghadiya.
