Solar Eclipse 2025- A solar eclipse is going to occur on the new moon day of Pitru Paksha on 21 September 2025. This day is also Sarvapitre Amavasya, so this eclipse has special significance. Let us know all the important information related to this eclipse, including its time, visibility and Sutak period.
Time of Solar Eclipse
This solar eclipse will begin at 07:12 am and end at 11:27 pm on 21 September 2025 as per Indian time. However, it is important to note that the timing may vary in different countries and cities.
Will this eclipse be visible in India?
This will be a partial solar eclipse, which means the Moon will cover only a part of the Sun. This eclipse will be visible mainly in New Zealand, Antarctica and parts of South America. This eclipse will not be visible in India. Since this solar eclipse will not be visible in India, its Sutak period will also not be valid in India. According to astrological beliefs, the Sutak period of the solar eclipse starts 12 hours before the eclipse begins and ends with the end of the eclipse. Doing any auspicious work during this time is considered forbidden.
However, this partial solar eclipse will be completely invisible for most parts of India and the Northern Hemisphere. People in countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Afghanistan, South America and North America will not be able to see any phase of the eclipse. This situation will be completely different from the amazing lunar eclipse, which thrilled even the common people due to the rarity of the ‘blood moon’.
On 21 September 2025, it is Amavasya Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Ashwin month and Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra will remain. On this day, Shukla Yoga and Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga are also being formed, which makes this day even more auspicious. This solar eclipse will occur in Virgo.
