The striking scene was reported over Kirandul, in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, where the sky reportedly changed from its usual blue and grey shades to a dark red hue.
According to Indian media reports cited by 24 News HD, the unusual sight occurred amid persistent rainfall and strong winds associated with a storm system. Videos shared online show the sky above the area appearing dramatically red, attracting widespread attention.
Although the phenomenon has been linked to atmospheric changes caused by the stormy weather, the precise scientific explanation for the sky’s colour change has not yet been established, the report said.
