Surya Grahan (Annular Solar Eclipse) (सूर्य ग्रहण (वलयाकार)) is an eclipse falling in the Hindu lunar month of माघ. An eclipse is an astronomical event, not an annual tithi observance: its date and time are computed from the positions of the Sun, the Moon and the lunar nodes. No eclipse fast is marked for India for this eclipse.
