The annular phase of this solar eclipse is visible from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Sri Lanka, and parts of Indonesia, weather permitting. In most of Asia, parts of North/East Africa, and North/West Australia, people can see a partial eclipse.



Video below will detail how it would be visible in different parts of the world. 
The eclipse starts at one location and ends at another. The times below are actual times (in UTC) when the eclipse occurs.

For Sri Lankans, to experience the full effect of the eclipse, it's recommended to visit the northern part of Sri Lanka. Below video depicts the path of the shadow. 


It would be ideal to have the full experience as it would be more than a decade before Sri Lanka would experience a similar eclipse
