✦
Four eclipses in 2026
Two solar and two lunar eclipses fall in 2026 — but only some are visible from India.
✦
3 March: Total Lunar
The total lunar eclipse on 3 March 2026 IS visible in India. Sutak is observed, beginning about nine hours before.
✦
17 Feb & 12 Aug: Solar
The solar eclipses of 17 February and 12 August 2026 are NOT visible from India, so Sutak is not observed here.
✦
28 Aug: Partial Lunar
On Raksha Bandhan, the Moon is below India's horizon — not visible here, so the festival is unaffected.
✦
A calm view
An eclipse you cannot see asks nothing of you but calm awareness. There is no cause for fear.
