In 2023, India experienced a total of two eclipses (grahans):

  • One lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on October 28, 2023, which was a partial lunar eclipse visible in India
  • One solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) on October 14, 2023, which was not visible in India but was visible in other countries

Additionally, there was a penumbral lunar eclipse on May 5, 2023, visible in India, which is a subtle type of lunar eclipse where the moon passes through the Earth's penumbra

. So, summarizing for India in 2023:

  • Lunar eclipses visible: 2 (May 5 penumbral, October 28 partial)
  • Solar eclipses visible: 0 (solar eclipse on October 14 not visible in India)

Therefore, India saw two lunar grahans and no solar grahan in 2023.
