Coincidence of 2 eclipses in August
This time there is a coincidence of 2 eclipses in August. One of these will be a solar and the other lunar eclipse. First, there will be a solar eclipse on 12th August on the day of Hariyali Amavasya festival and after that on 28th August, on the occasion of Rakshabandhan, there will be a lunar eclipse, but both these eclipses will not be visible in India, due to which they will not be considered to have any religious and astrological significance here like Sutak etc.
