The Legend of Rahu – The Origin of the Eclipse During the churning of the milk ocean, the gods received the immortalization nectar from Monini. Svarbhânu the demon sneaked between Sûrya the sun and Chandra the moon, and received nectar. Both, when realized this fraud, convinced Vishnu to cut Svarbhânu into two pieces. The upper part of Svarbhânu became Rahu, an immortal dragon head that swallows occasionally the sun or the moon as revenge causing eclipse. Here are three stamps issued by Laos: Lao Mythology, Designer: Ky Phungchaleun, Engraver: Jumelet - 1971:  Space in Retrospect, Designer: Marc Leguay, Engraver: J. Larriviere:
