The second solar eclipse of the year will also take place in September, just 15 days after the second lunar eclipse of the year. The second solar eclipse will take place on 2 October on Sarva Pitru Amavasya. This will be a ringed shaped sun eclipse. A solar eclipse takes place when the moon, sun and earth are all located at the same place at the same time. According to religious point of view, a solar eclipse is considered very inauspicious.

The second solar eclipse of this year in India will be on October 2 from 09:13 pm to 03:17 midnight. The Sutak period of the solar eclipse starts 12 hours before. Since the eclipse will occur at night in India, the solar eclipse will not be visible. Therefore, there will be no recognition of the Sutak period here.
Where will the solar eclipse be visible
This last solar eclipse of the year will be visible in countries like Arctic, South America, Argentina, Pacific Ocean, Peru and Fiji, except India.
What is annular solar eclipse?
During a ringed shaped sun eclipse, only a vague part of the solar disk is visible on the moon. Whereas the shining outer part of the sun appears like a ring.
