Watch | Zero Shadow Day in Bengaluru

Zero Shadow Day happened in Bengaluru at 12.17 p.m. on April 25. On this day, the Sun will be directly overhead and hence any vertical object will not cast a shadow.

As per the Astronomical Society of India, this annual celestial phenomenon occurs twice a year for places between +23.5 and -23.5 degrees latitude. The Sun is almost never exactly overhead at noon but usually transits a bit lower in altitude, a bit to the north or a bit to the south.
