Fri Mar 28 02:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Partial Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2025: Not Visible in India

**NEW DELHI** – A partial solar eclipse will occur on March 29, 2025, beginning at 2:21 PM and ending at 6:14 PM IST, lasting 3 hours and 53 minutes. However, this celestial event will *not* be visible from India.

The eclipse will be visible in parts of South America, North America, North Asia, Northwest Africa, Europe, the North Pole, the Arctic Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. Because the eclipse is not visible in India, the associated *Sutak* period (inauspicious time) will not apply, and daily routines will remain unaffected for Indian citizens.

According to astrological beliefs, solar eclipses are significant astronomical events with potential positive or negative impacts. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, partially or fully obscuring the sun’s light.

While some advise against eating during a solar eclipse based on religious beliefs, Indians are not impacted by this advice since the eclipse is not visible within the country. Precautions such as avoiding direct sunlight during any eclipse remain valid for those in viewing areas.
