today is solar eclipse
The solar eclipse scheduled for February 17, 2026, is a very rare event in which the Moon will cover the center of the Sun, leaving a bright ring around its edges. This eclipse will be visible mostly in Antarctica, but due to it not being visible, its Sutak period will not be valid in India. According to astrology, this time is very good for spiritual thinking and charity.
What to do during solar eclipse
Chant mantras and meditate on the name of your favorite deity during the eclipse. After the eclipse is over, take bath and clean the temple.
Donate grains, sesame seeds or clothes to the needy as per your capacity.
Keep basil leaves in the food items kept in the house.
