Amavasya falls on the last date of Krishna Paksha every month. Every year on the new moon day of Jyeshtha month, along with celebrating Shani Jayanti, Vat Savitri fast is also observed. This fast is very special for married women. On this day married women observe a fast for the longevity of their husbands. This time Jyeshtha Amavasya is very special because this time the first solar eclipse of the year 2021 will take place on the new moon day on Thursday, June 10, 2021. This solar eclipse will be Kankanakriti Solar Eclipse. Sutaks are taken 12 hours before the eclipse and worshiping is prohibited. However, a partial solar eclipse can be seen in very few places in India. This is the reason that the Sutak period will not be valid in India, but still there is apprehension in the minds of women regarding the worship of Vat Savitra fast. So let us know from when will the solar eclipse last and which will be the right time for the worship of Vat Savitri fast.
