At the same time, a solar eclipse is also taking place on this day, so let us know when and at what time to perform the Shradh Karma of the ancestors?

The correct time of Sarva Pitru Amavasya and Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan 2024 Date Or Time)

According to astrology, the last solar eclipse of the year will begin on October 1, 2024 at 09:40 pm. At the same time, it will end on October 2, 2024 at 3:17 am. According to the calculations of astrologers, the effect of solar eclipse on Sarva Pitru Amavasya (Sarva Pitru Amavasya Surya Grahan) will not be there, because it will not be visible in India.
