Eclipse / Grahan Calendar 2027
A list of every solar (Surya Grahan) and lunar (Chandra Grahan) eclipse of the year — each with its type, whether it is visible in India, the grahan start and end times (shown in your local time) and the Sutak Kaal where it is observed. A penumbral (upachhaya) lunar eclipse is generally not kept as a grahan.
Solar & Lunar Eclipses

Annular Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) Not visible in India
Grahan 7:07 PM – 11:53 PM
An annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse visible from Chile, Argentina, the south Atlantic, west Africa and Antarctica. Not visible in India, so no Sutak Kaal is observed.
-
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan) Penumbral — no Sutak
Grahan 2:28 AM – 6:58 AM
A faint penumbral (upachhaya) lunar eclipse in the early-morning sky over India. Penumbral eclipses are not kept as a grahan in the Hindu tradition, so no Sutak Kaal applies.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan) Penumbral — no Sutak
An extremely faint penumbral (upachhaya) lunar eclipse — the Moon barely grazes Earth’s outer shadow. It is not kept as a grahan, so no Sutak Kaal applies.

Total Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) Partial in India
Grahan 1:00 PM – 6:14 PM
The “Great North African Eclipse” — totality (up to 6 min 23 s, the longest of this century) crosses Spain, north Africa, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. In India a partial eclipse is visible from about 4:30 PM until sunset across western and southern India. Sutak Kaal (12 hours before the peak) applies where the eclipse is visible.
-
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan) Not visible in India
A penumbral (upachhaya) lunar eclipse occurring during the day in India with the Moon below the horizon. Not visible in India and, being penumbral, not kept as a grahan — no Sutak Kaal.
Grahan start and end times are shown in your local time. Sutak Kaal applies only where the eclipse is visible; a penumbral (upachhaya) lunar eclipse is generally not kept as a grahan. Times are computed for India and may differ slightly from regional almanacs.
