For thousands of years, almost all of us have been mesmerised by the amazing occurrence of solar eclipses. This time too the eclipse will surprise us with its beauty on March 29 which will be the first solar eclipse of 2025, and will last roughly four hours. However, there are many myths surrounding solar eclipses, particularly concerning the topic 'pregnancy' in various civilisations, particularly in India. Some of these ideas have little scientific support, while others have their roots in tradition. It's important to differentiate reality from fiction and concentrate on useful guidance that encourages wellbeing and safety.
