Eclipse Dates for Puducherry in 2025. Solar and lunar events with local contact altitudes
Calculated for 2025. Global eclipse type describes the alignment; the contact tables below show whether the Sun or Moon is above your selected place’s horizon at each event. A positive centre altitude near 0° remains sensitive to terrain and atmospheric conditions. Sutak and temple closures are not inferred from these astronomical contacts.

No solar eclipse with an above-horizon beginning or end was found here in this year.
Solar viewing requires proper solar filters. Ordinary sunglasses do not protect your eyes.

Lunar contacts are global instants. Altitudes are calculated separately for your place; below-horizon contacts cannot be observed there. The penumbral phase is distinct from the darker partial and total phases.
