Partial Solar Eclipse 2025 Time and Sutak Relevance

According to NASA, a partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, but the sun, moon and Earth are not perfectly lined up. Only a part of the sun appears to be covered, giving it a crescent shape. In India, eclipses or grahan stand significant both culturally and traditionally. A certain inauspicious time before the Surya Grahan and Chandra Grahan is known as Sutak. According to Hindu beliefs, the earth's atmosphere is considered to be contaminated during the sutak, and extra precautions are followed to avoid any harmful side effects during contamination. The September 21 partial solar eclipse will not be visible in India. Hence, no sutak is applicable during the upcoming Surya Grahan.

While solar eclipse is attributed to certain myths, scientifically, there are no proven facts. An eclipse is an awe-inspiring celestial event. Individuals must ensure safety when viewing a solar eclipse, as the sun’s intense light can cause damage to the retina and compromise their vision. Meanwhile, it is safe to look at the moon with unprotected eyes or through a telescope during all types and stages of a lunar eclipse.
