A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the Earth’s view of the Sun. In India, the eastern fringe of the penumbral shadow of the Moon passes over Kutch, parts of Gujarat, Delhi, Rajasthan, UP, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir
