❀ On the day of Chandra Darshan, Hindu devotees worship the Moon God. Devotees observe a strict fast on this day to please Moon God. They do not eat or drink anything the whole day. The fast is broken after seeing the moon immediately after sunset.
❀ It is believed that a person who performs all the ritualistic worship of Moon God on the day of Moon darshan is bestowed with eternal good luck and prosperity.
❀ Giving Daan on Chandra Darshan is also an important ritual. On this day people donate clothes, rice and sugar and other things to the Brahmins.

In Hindu mythology, Chandra Dev is considered one of the most revered deities. He is also an important planet of 'Navagraha', which influences life on earth. The Moon is considered a favorable planet and is associated with wisdom, purity and good intentions. It is believed that a person whose planet has the Moon in a favorable position will live a more successful and prosperous life. Furthermore the Moon is even more influential in Hinduism as it follows the lunar calendar. In Hindu mythology, Chandra Dev or the Moon God is also considered to be the nurturer of animal and plant life. He is married to 27 Nakshatras, who are daughters of King Prajapati Daksha and also the father of Buddha or planet Mercury. Hence Hindu devotees worship Moon God on the day of Chandra Darshan to seek his blessings for success and good fortune.
