Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 3,259 km south-west of Meerut.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 3,345 km south-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.
