On Sunday evening, skywatchers across India were treated to a rare celestial event known as a Blue Moon, which signifies the occurrence of a second full moon within a single calendar month. This phenomenon is relatively uncommon, occurring only once every two to three years. Observers in various cities, particularly in Delhi at India Gate and in Ayodhya, expressed their awe and happiness at witnessing the spectacle. One devotee visiting Ayodhya for darshan remarked on the moon's beauty, describing it as reddish and orange in color. The excitement surrounding the Blue Moon was palpable, with many families and individuals gathering to take in the view. This event followed a lunar eclipse earlier in March, which had transformed the full moon into a darker orb. While the term 'Blue Moon' might suggest a blue appearance, it actually refers to the rarity of having two full moons in one month, rather than any change in the moon's color.
