Earlier there was a lunar eclipse on 5 June, there is a solar eclipse on 21 June and there will be a lunar eclipse again on 5 July. The lunar eclipse of June 5 and July 5 does not have religious significance. Because, Yemandya is a lunar eclipse. In this eclipse, there is dust just before the moon. In this way, the rare sum of three eclipses in 30 days will now be formed after 119 years. In the year 2139, there will be a lunar eclipse on the night of 11-12 July, a solar eclipse on 25-26 July and a lunar eclipse on the middle of August 9-10. Even at that time, these lunar eclipses will not have religious significance.

Similar eclipses are also happening in 2020. For the past several days, there have been frequent earthquake tremors in different parts of the country and will continue to be a threat.
