Details:
On 21st August night, I was able to capture multiple lunar halos around the moon which also encircled Jupiter (on the left of the moon) and saturn (on the right of the moon).
Les Cowley (Atmospheric Optics) confirmed (via EarthSky and Deborah Byrd) that these are odd radius halos caused by pyramidal shaped ice crystals and that the halos are situated at 9, 18, 20, 23 degree radius.
The image was captured from Kolkata, India with Nikon D5600 and Nikon 35mm f/1.8g lens.
