The world is set to witness the first solar eclipse of 2026 on Tuesday, although the celestial event will not be visible in India.
Solar and lunar eclipses traditionally generate curiosity among skywatchers and often spark religious as well as scientific discussions. Questions regarding food restrictions and ritual observances are commonly raised during such events.
According to astronomical data, the eclipse will begin at 3:26 pm and end at 7:57 pm, lasting approximately four hours and 32 minutes. However, it will not be visible from India. The eclipse is expected to be seen in parts of Africa, including South Africa, Tanzania and Mauritius.
Astrologers have clarified that since the eclipse will not be visible in India orOdisha, no ritual observances have been prescribed in the Panjika (Hindu almanac). Consequently, no religious ceremonies, temple restrictions or food-related prohibitions will be applicable in the country.
In 2026, there will be two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses. The first lunar eclipse has already occurred earlier this year. The second lunar eclipse is scheduled for March 3, coinciding with the full moon (Purnima) of Phalguna, and is expected to be visible in India.
