What you will see
Erode is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 16:55:38 local time, the Moon hides 43.2% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 16:00:05 and ends at 17:46:24, 1 h 46 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 25° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Erode.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,729 km south-west of Erode.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 2,887 km west, where totality lasts 3 m 26 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.
