Solar Eclipse at TVM, Kanakakkunnu Palace

Wow, what a sight that is. Thousands thronged to Kanakakkunnu Palace grounds, and raised hurrays and ahas when they felt lucky enough to witness once in a millennium event, annular solar eclipse.

Elaborate arrangements were in place to witness the solar ecplise - like this Solarscope, which projects sun's image.

School Children from all parts of Kerala were present to witness the occasion. Scientists and teachers gave lectures on celestial events like solar eclipse, safety precautions to take while looking at the sun, etc.
