The moon is visible only for a short span of time on the first day of Chandra Darshan and that too just after the sunset. In other words, the moon sets about one hour after sunset and can be sighted only after sunset due to being in the same horizon as that of the sun. Hence the moon can be sighted only after the sunset.
So for sound health, prosperous life and peaceful life ahead, one can observe fast on Chandra Darshan and this will also culminate negativity from your life.
