Here is the headless astronomical shadow entity Rahu again, in this c1825 CE #CompanyPainting from #Patna #Bihar #India now at British #Museum London
Riding a Blue Ram, he is looking out for the Sun or the Moon which he will devour to replace his head which was cut off by the #Hindu God #Vishnu for eating His food and thus causing #SolarEclipse2024 & Lunar eclipse some other time.
It was a #SolarEclipse yesterday.
In #IndianMythology it is believed that #Eclipse is caused by the #Hindu astronomical shadow entity Rahu, who causes an eclipse by devouring the Sun & Moon alternatively.
The #Mythology goes, he was caught eating God #Vishnu food. The angered God cut off his head. Now, to replace his head, Rahu devours the Sun & Moon at times causing Lunar & #SolarEclipse
