Surya Grahan 2024: As the world is set to witness the last Solar Eclipse of the year, people usually wonder what to do and what not to do. Surya Grahan 2024 or solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon when the moon passes between the Sun and Earth. In India, Surya Grahan will take place from 9:17 PM to 3:17 AM today. Solar Eclipse will start on 2nd October and will end on 3rd October. A lot of misconceptions go around this time related to the event but there are some necessary things that you must avoid. Here are things to avoid.
Surya Grahan 2024: Do Not Look At the Sun Directly
It is usually advised to not look at the Sun directly during the Solar Eclipse. It has both mythological and scientific reasons to do so. Looking at the Sun directly causes permanent damage to the eyes. It causes the cells of the eyes and retina to burn. To watch the Sun even for a bit is not advisable. Use proper eye protection while looking at it during Surya Grahan. Even your instruments like a camera without a solar filter should not be used.
Surya Grahan 2024: Eating During the Solar Eclipse
Many a time we see our mothers and grandmothers do not allow us to eat anything during the Solar Eclipse. Well, it is acceptable because the Sun rays which include Blue and Ultraviolet rays work as a natural disinfectant. During Surya Grahan, their wavelengths do not align and have different intensities which is not considered good. Therefore, it is advised to not eat anything during the Solar Eclipse.
Surya Grahan 2024: Avoid Taking a Bath
It is also advised to take a bath after the Solar Eclipse. Talking about pregnant women, taking a bath after the Surya Grahan with cold water is usually preferred. The reason for this is cold water helps with the parasympathetic nervous system which results in proper digestion and brain health. It also helps relax the body. Hence, one should take either before or after the Solar Eclipse.
Even though this Annular Solar Eclipse on 2nd October will not be visible in India knowing about the necessary things is always a plus. This time the Surya Grahan 2024 is called as ‘Ring of Fire’ as per NASA. This Solar Eclipse will be spotted in parts of South America.
