Sutak Period and Its Effect in India

Since this solar eclipse will not be visible in India, the Sutak period will not be considered valid. According to Hindu beliefs, the Sutak period is observed in regions where the eclipse is visible, impacting spiritual and religious activities. Since this eclipse does not appear in the Indian sky, it will have no effect on daily life, spiritual practices, or religious activities in India.

What is a Solar Eclipse?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, blocking sunlight partially or completely from reaching Earth. When this alignment happens, the Moon casts its shadow on Earth, leading to an eclipse. The upcoming solar eclipse on March 29, 2025, is a partial eclipse, meaning the Sun will be partially covered by the Moon.

Where Will the Solar Eclipse Be Visible?

As per scientific observations, this solar eclipse can be seen in:

  • South America
  • Partial North America
  • North Asia
  • North-West Africa
  • Europe
  • North Pole
  • Arctic Ocean
  • Atlantic Ocean

However, India will not witness this eclipse.

The first solar eclipse of 2025 is set to take place on March 29, but it will not be visible in India. Consequently, there will be no Sutak period effect in India, and people can continue their daily routines as usual. The eclipse, however, will be observed in several other parts of the world, including South America, North Asia, and Europe.
