Celestial event
The celestial event gets it name because of the way the light gets filtered through the atmosphere during an eclipse.
Blue light is bounced away from the moon reflecting red instead. The eclipsed moon looks red in colour giving it the name -- blood moon.
Apart from India, the rare sight will be sighted in countries like Russia, Australia, China, and Thailand.
