Surya Grahan 2025: Rare Partial Solar Eclipse on September 22 – All You Need to Know

 

 

A Rare Celestial Spectacle

On September 22, 2025, the skies will host a Partial Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) — a breathtaking phenomenon where the Moon will partially cover the Sun. Unlike total eclipses, this event creates a dramatic “bitten Sun” effect, making it one of the most fascinating sky shows for astronomy lovers.

 Where Can You Watch It?

The eclipse will be visible mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, including parts of South America, South Atlantic, and nearby regions. Sadly, India will miss out on direct viewing, but curious skywatchers can witness the live phenomenon through online broadcasts and space agency streams.

 Sutak Kaal & Beliefs

Though invisible from India, many people will still observe the Sutak Kaal, a traditional period linked with spiritual practices during an eclipse. It is considered a time for meditation and avoiding new beginnings.

 Why It’s Special

Each solar eclipse is a reminder of cosmic wonders — blending science, spirituality, and nature’s beauty. For those lucky enough to see it, September 22 promises a celestial memory that will shine for years to come.
