Why are 2 eclipses in 15 days inauspicious
According to Pt. Praveen Dwivedi, an astrologer from Ujjain, the coincidence of two eclipses in 15 days of Shraddha Paksha indicates some major incident or accident. Often, some natural event occurs before or after an eclipse. Something similar can happen this time, causing a possibility of loss of life and property.
