Eclipses in Srinagar 2027
Local circumstances of every solar and lunar eclipse of 2027 as seen from Srinagar: contact times in local time, the eclipsed luminary's altitude at each contact, obscuration, and the sutak window. Instants come from a high-accuracy astronomical search (Lahiri sidereal).
Observable from Srinagar = the eclipsed luminary is above your horizon during at least part of the umbral (partial or total) phase — the naked-eye eclipse. Altitudes are apparent (refraction-corrected) for the luminary's centre; a centre altitude of 0° still leaves the disc's upper limb roughly 0.8° up, so an eclipse grazing the horizon is genuinely visible.
Annular solar eclipse — 6 Feb, 21:29
Not observable from Srinagar — the eclipsed luminary stays below the horizon throughout the umbral phase.Sidereal position: 23°23′ Capricorn · Dhanishta
Penumbral lunar eclipse — 21 Feb, 04:42
Penumbral onlySidereal position: 7°45′ Leo · Magha
Penumbral eclipse only — the Moon passes through Earth's outer shadow (upacchaya). The dimming is slight and usually imperceptible; there is no umbral phase and no sutak.

| Penumbral begins | 21 Feb, 02:41 | +52.5° | penumbral |
| Maximum | 21 Feb, 04:42 | +29.3° | penumbral |
| Penumbral ends | 21 Feb, 06:43 | +5.0° | penumbral |

Smarta reckoning (CONVENTION): sutak begins 4 prahar (~12 h, solar) or 3 prahar (~9 h, lunar) before sparsha — the first umbral contact — and ends at moksha, the last umbral contact; observed only where the eclipse is locally visible. A prahar is treated as a nominal ~3 hours. Vaishnava and regional reckonings differ on vedha and exemptions, some tables measure from a fixed clock-hour, and reduced-sutak concessions (children, the sick, the aged) exist. We pin the Smarta sparsha-based rule and show only the begin/end instants.
