  • The solar eclipse on June 21 darkened the skies on the day when the Sun is supposed to take over the sky — the summer solstice.
  • This is also the first time in since 2011 that the annular solar eclipse has been visible over India.
  • Breathtaking pictures from all over the country show how the eclipse looked in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and other parts of India.
On the day that’s supposed to shine the brightest, the solar eclipse only left a ‘Ring of Fire’ in the sky.

Annular solar eclipses only occur once every one or two years. However, the solar eclipse or surya grahan on June 21 was the first ‘Ring of Fire’ annular solar eclipse that was visible from India for the first time since 2011.

In a rare turn of events, it was also the first solar eclipse in 19 years that fell on the summer solstice — the longest day of summer — and darkened the skies.

Here are of the best pictures of the solar eclipse from across India as the Moon’s shadow took over the sky:
