Eclipse 2024 April. During a total solar eclipse, the moon moves between the earth and sun completely obscuring the sun. The moon will glide over the surface of our sun, casting a shadow over a swath of earth below.
This year’s pitru paksha (ancestral fortnight) in 2024 is considered highly significant, as it coincides with two eclipses. The moon will glide over the surface of our sun, casting a shadow over a swath of earth below.
