During this time, no good deeds are performed, and no god idols are touched. Even the temple's doors close as soon as the solar eclipse's Sutak starts. Find out whether or not the September 21 solar eclipse's Sutak will be seen, and if it is, when it will happen.
Will Sutak apply in India during this Surya Grahan?
From a religious perspective, the Sutak period for the last solar eclipse of the year will not be valid in India because it is not visible here. Sutak is only valid for a solar eclipse that is visible in one's region. According to Hindu tradition, Sutak is considered an inauspicious period before any eclipse. Auspicious activities are prohibited during this time.
