It is the eclipse the day before
seen beautifully in the night
lunar eclipse did show up
pujas and homams took place
my land has beliefs
for each phenomenon of nature
Especially for the eclipses
pariharams for different stars
archanas for the stars
with flowers and coconuts
and new vastras donated
the day after the eclipse
people throng the temples
do the required penance
well, my land abounds with such faith
say the astrologers it is based on science
I know not for real
as I believe in Good
not on the rituals so elaborate.
