Solar Eclipse on October 2 (Surya Grahan)
There will be a solar eclipse on the last day of Shradh Paksha i.e. October 2, Wednesday. This too will not be visible in India, hence its sutak will not be valid here.

Why are 2 eclipses in 15 days inauspicious?
According to Ujjain's astrologer Pt. Praveen Dwivedi, the coincidence of 2 eclipses in 15 days of Shradh Paksha is indicating towards some major incident-accident. Often a natural event is seen before or after an eclipse. Something similar can happen this time also, due to which there is a possibility of loss of life and property.
