Surya Grahan 2025 and its link with Pitru Paksha
This solar eclipse gains further importance as it coincides with the end of Pitru Paksha. According to beliefs, eclipses during this period are seen as powerful markers of cosmic change and reflection.
Experts suggest that such an alignment encourages people to look inward, resolve unfinished matters, and honour their roots. In many traditions, it is also seen as an opportunity for spiritual cleansing, making way for new beginnings once the eclipse passes.
