Please note that the timing in India is not available as it is not visible in India, Asia and European countries. The eclipse is from 08:37 (UT) to 10:39 (UT). NASA indicates that Universal Time is equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time or GMT. So for India add +5:30 to the UT time. Therefore the corresponding time of grahan in India is from 14:07 hrs to 16:09 hrs
