According to astrological guidance, Kumar Purnima Puja is recommended to be conducted just before the eclipse begins, starting precisely at 1:44 PM. This auspicious moment is deemed ideal for performing all the associated rituals and pujas dedicated to Kumar Purnima.
Devotees are advised to complete their puja activities before the lunar eclipse begins. It’s important to note that during the eclipse, direct viewing of the moon is discouraged. Consequently, after 4:05 PM, it is recommended to abstain from gazing at the moon until the eclipse concludes.
