LIVE: Will the eclipse be visible in India? Note down the time of Delhi-Jaipur
In India this eclipse will be visible in the form of ‘Rashtodaya’. This means that when the moon rises, it will already be in the grip of the eclipse.
- Timings in Delhi: The game will start at 6:22 pm.
- How long will it last: You will get only 25 minutes in Delhi, 18 minutes in Jaipur and only 8 minutes in Udaipur.
- Caution: Sutak period will start from 6:20 am, hence the doors of the temple will remain closed during this period.
Attention ‘Danger bells’ for these zodiac signs
According to astrologer Dr. Anish Vyas and Pandit Suresh Shrimali, this eclipse is occurring in Leo and Purva Phalguni Nakshatra. ‘Ketu’ is already sitting there, which is making ‘Grahan Yoga’ even more dangerous.
- Leo: Health may deteriorate, there is a fear of injury.
- Virgo sun sign: The budget may get spoiled due to sudden loss of money and wasteful expenditure.
- Scorpio: Mental stress and fear of the unknown will bother you.
- Aquarius: There may be a big fight with your spouse or his/her health may deteriorate.
- Pisces: The work being done will get stuck and secret worries will surround you.
If your zodiac sign is among these, then donate white things (rice, sugar, milk) after the eclipse.
Holi 2026: Holika will burn only on March 2, know why?
This time there has been a big change in the dates of the festival due to the eclipse. Since the eclipse occurs on March 3, it is most auspicious to perform Holika Dahan on March 2. If you want to do Dahan on March 3, it will be possible only after 6:48 pm (Eclipse Moksha). In such a situation, Holi with colors will be played on March 4.
Big Prediction: Tsunami, Earthquake or Political Turmoil?
Dr. Anish Vyas, a senior astrologer, believes that the natural and global signs of this eclipse are frightening:
- Nature’s havoc: There are indications of high waves (tsunami) or major earthquake in the sea.
- Plane crash: A major airline accident is expected in the next few months.
- Political conflict: Sad news may come about some big leader or a big movement may break out in the country.
What to do and what not to do during eclipse?
- What to do: Keep chanting ‘Om Namah Shivay’. Put basil leaves in food items beforehand.
- What not to do: Pregnant women should not use scissors, knives or needles at all. Avoid cooking food during Sutak period.
