What you will see
Chagni is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:39:35 local time, the Moon hides 66.6% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:16:02 and ends at 14:55:43, 2 h 40 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 74° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Chagni.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 908 km north-east of Chagni.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Jizan, about 928 km north-east, where totality lasts 3 m 06 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
