What you will see
Gaya is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 16:39:26 local time, the Moon hides 5.9% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 16:09:29 and ends at 17:08:11, 59 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 24° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Gaya.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 3,397 km south-west of Gaya.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 3,836 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.
