Surya Grahan 2025: Partial Solar Eclipse Visibility and Timing in India
The partial solar eclipse on March 29, 2025, will be visible in various regions but not in India. Vedic astrology considers this event inauspicious, advising against eating and recommending meditation. Safety measures like using eclipse glasses are emphasized for safe observation.
The first solar eclipse of 2025, a partial solar eclipse, is approaching quickly, set to take place on Saturday. Anticipation among enthusiasts is high as the event draws near, marking an important celestial occasion.
In Vedic astrology, Surya Grahan (solar eclipse) is viewed as inauspicious, prompting many to avoid food and drinks during this time. Engaging in meditation is often encouraged to foster positive energy during the eclipse.
This partial solar eclipse will be visible in various regions, including countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Atlantic, Arctic, North America, and South America. However, India will not experience visibility of this eclipse due to geographic alignment.
NASA confirms that visibility for the eclipse on March 29 includes parts of Europe, Northwestern Africa, Greenland, Iceland, and specific northeastern areas of the US and eastern Canada, but it will not be viewable from India—the moon’s shadow won’t pass over the country.
For Indian viewers, the timing is crucial: the eclipse will commence at 2:21 PM IST, peak at 4:17 PM IST, and conclude at 6:14 PM IST, lasting a total of 3 hours and 53 minutes worldwide. In the U.S., the timings differ, starting at 4:50 AM EDT and culminating at 8:43 AM EDT.
For safe observation of the solar eclipse, it is critical to use appropriate eye protection, such as eclipse glasses, to prevent eye damage from harmful UV rays.
The 2025 partial solar eclipse is an exciting astronomical event, although it will not be visible from India. Observers in specific regions across Europe and North America will have the opportunity to witness it. Adhering to safety measures when viewing the eclipse is essential to protect against UV exposure.
