Annular Solar Eclipse

According to astrologer Pt. Dwivedi, an annular solar eclipse, known as the Ring of Fire, will occur on Wednesday, October 2nd. However, this eclipse will not be visible in India

Solar Eclipse Not Visible in India?

Pt. Dwivedi states that since this solar eclipse will not be visible anywhere in India, its Sutak will not be considered valid here

Shraddha and Pind Daan Can Be Performed

As the solar eclipse will not be visible in India, rituals like Shraddha and Pind Daan related to Sarva Pitru Amavasya can be performed here

Why This Time is Special

Kutap Kaal is considered the most auspicious time for Shraddha. Kutap Kaal lasts until approximately 11:30 am, so Shraddha should be performed before this time
