Solar Eclipse 2025: Will Last Surya Grahan Be Visible In India? Here's All You Need To Know

Partial Solar Eclipse 2025: This month is going to witness the last Surya Grahan of 2025 on September 21. However, the question remains, will it be visible in India? This celestial event occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of the Earth. This year, the Chandra Grahan and Surya Grahan will be observed on the first day and the last day of Pitru Paksha, respectively. This has added more significance and interest surrounding the celestial events.
