Experience:
It was spectacular to see the occultation event of Mars by about 5 day old 25% waxing Crescent moon.  The view of 4.91" angular size Mars going behind and emerging out of the 30' 3.7" size Moon was simply an Astronomer's Delight. Occultation took place very close to Orion, the Hunter (Kalpurush Taramandal), This proximity of Mars to Mrigashira Nakshatra and Betelgeuse made the panoramic view after egress spectacular. Both Moon and Mars were about 2 degrees of Gemini.

Reason for waxing and waning moon in Indian Mythology

Lord Ganesha was returning home on his mount Krauncha late on a full moon night after a mighty feast given by Kubera, God of plenty. On the course of return journey, a snake crossed their path and frightened by it, his mount ran away dislodging Ganesha in the process. An overstuffed Ganesha fell to the ground on his stomach, vomiting out all the Modaks he had eaten. On observing this, Chandra laughed at Ganesha. Ganesha lost his temper and broke off one of his tusks and flung it straight at the Moon, hurting him, and cursed him so that he would never be whole again. Therefore, It is forbidden to behold Chandra on Ganesh Chaturthi. This legend accounts for the Moon's waxing and waning including a big crater on the Moon, a dark spot, visible even from Earth
