About Eclipse rangoli : PRINT

Eclipse everyone should be aware, This time its Solar eclipse (Suryagrahana ) ,This year its on 26th Jan which is visiable in Australia, Southeast India, Southeast Asia Indonesia and Africa. As per traditional Hindu calendar, January 26 is an Amavasya day. All Hindu temples remain closed during Suryagahan and will reopen only after the Grahan after conducting special pujas and rituals. Usually, religious Hindus do not take any food for about 4 to 5 hours before Grahana starts. During Grahana time and they purify themselves by taking bath and chants the Mantras , Vishnu sahasranama , and Japas. During this time its said to give Pithru Tharpanas. Myself & Bharathi drawn this theme.
Can anyone share how this is viewed from other country people style of looking this Eclipse??

It is a very good idea. One or two suggestions if you don't mind.
The eclipse won't last that long as indicated by the positions of
the sun at various stages. Secondly the light will not be the same
throughout. You have to manage both, rather difficult. You can try
one more thing. The shadows cast by the trees during the totality
and the birds returning home and such things. I hope you don't
mind. I apologise if I am off. Regards! - mOhana

Such intense colors! The red and the black look like the purest of their kinds. I bet Lakshmi is already getting ready to "celebrate" Vasanth Panchami
