Grahana terms

Grahana
The Sanskrit term for an eclipse — the "seizing" of a luminary, classically read at the eclipsed luminary’s sidereal position.
Total / annular / partial (solar)
How much of the Sun’s disc the Moon covers at maximum: fully; all but an outer ring; or partly.
Total / partial / penumbral (lunar)
Whether the Moon passes fully through Earth’s umbral shadow, partly through it, or only through the outer penumbra.
Visibility
We flag whether the eclipsed luminary stands above the horizon during at least part of the umbral (partial or total) phase at the reference location — the naked-eye eclipse. Classical jyotish weights a visible eclipse far more.

Definitions: standard astronomical eclipse classification; the grahana reading follows the engine's eclipse module — see sources & methodology.
