Sutak: what the tradition says
Sutak is the stretch before an eclipse in which tradition asks people to avoid cooking and eating, touching temple images and starting auspicious work. It is counted from 12 hours (four prahar) before a solar eclipse begins and 9 hours (three prahar) before a lunar one, and it lifts when the eclipse ends. Most families relax it for children, the elderly and anyone unwell.
Sutak applies only where the eclipse is seen. Cities marked ‘not visible’ have none, and a penumbral lunar eclipse is generally not given one. The sutak in the table is counted from the eclipse’s beginning at that city. Whether to keep it is a matter of your family’s practice.
Never look at a solar eclipse with the naked eye or sunglasses — use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector.

Frequently asked questions
Will the Total Solar Eclipse 25 Nov 2030 be visible in India?
No. During the eclipse the Sun is below the horizon in India, or the shadow does not reach it.
Is it safe to watch the solar eclipse?
Never with the naked eye, sunglasses, X-ray film or a reflection in water — even a partial eclipse can permanently harm the eyes. Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector.
Which rashi and nakshatra is this eclipse in?
Scorpio rashi, Anuradha nakshatra (the sidereal position of the Sun at the maximum). As it is not seen from India, tradition here keeps neither sutak nor eclipse observances.
