Frequently Asked Questions
When is the next eclipse (grahan) visible in India?
The next eclipse visible from India is the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on Sunday, 21 February 2027. Sutak Kaal is observed because it is visible here; exact India timings are on its page.
What is Sutak Kaal during an eclipse?
Sutak is the inauspicious period before an eclipse when temple worship, eating and travel are traditionally avoided. It begins 12 hours before a solar eclipse and 9 hours before a lunar eclipse — but ONLY where the eclipse is actually visible. If an eclipse is not visible in India, no Sutak is observed here.
Is Sutak observed for an eclipse not visible in India?
No. Sutak Kaal is tied to visibility. If the eclipse cannot be seen from your location, the classical rule is that Sutak does not apply — so temples stay open and normal routine continues.
How are these eclipse dates and times calculated?
Every date, type and timing here is computed with the Swiss Ephemeris (the same engine NASA-grade software uses), with per-city Indian local circumstances. Discrete facts (date, type, visibility) are exact; local timings are accurate to the minute.
