Kathmandu – A rare solar eclipse is set to occur tomorrow, September 21 (Ashwin 5), but experts have clarified that it will not be visible from Nepal. According to the Nepal Panchang Nirnayak Bikas Samiti, the eclipse will be seen only from regions such as New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and Antarctica.
Committee member and scholar of Vedic scriptures, Prof. Dr. Devmani Bhattarai, stated that since the eclipse will not be visible in the Nepali sky, there will be no need to observe any religious restrictions such as sutak. He further explained that Hindu scriptures clearly mention that eclipses not visible in a particular region do not carry spiritual or astrological consequences for the people of that region.

Many devotees had raised questions about whether performing rituals like Shora Shraddha would be affected due to the eclipse coinciding with Ashwin Krishna Aunsi. However, Bhattarai reassured that people in Nepal can carry out their rituals and daily activities without any concern.
The Samiti also informed that while the eclipse has no direct impact in Nepal, those who wish may still observe the day as an opportunity for spiritual reflection, meditation, or charity, as such practices are universally beneficial regardless of astrological events.
