The eclipses of the Sravana window
A total solar eclipse on 12 August and a partial lunar eclipse on 27–28 August both fall in this window; neither is visible from India, so sutak does not apply there by tradition. See the Surya Grahan 12 August 2026 guide.
Dates follow widely-used Telugu (Amanta) panchangams for 2026. Confirm with your family purohit or local temple; tradition at home always takes precedence.
