What you will see
Soma is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:38:35 local time, the Moon hides 68% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:24:06 and ends at 13:53:04, 2 h 29 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 67° above the horizon, towards the south-east, so you want a clear view in that direction from Soma.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 877 km south-west of Soma.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Massah, about 895 km south-west, where totality lasts 1 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.
