The picture in question was shared by PM Modi on the microblogging website this morning. He wrote that he was enthusiastic "like many Indians" to see the solar eclipse but could not see the sun due to "cloud cover".
"Like many Indians, I was enthusiastic about #solareclipse2019," PM Modi wrote while sharing three pictures.
Like many Indians, I was enthusiastic about #solareclipse2019.

Unfortunately, I could not see the Sun due to cloud cover but I did catch glimpses of the eclipse in Kozhikode and other parts on live stream. Also enriched my knowledge on the subject by interacting with experts. pic.twitter.com/EI1dcIWRIz
The annual solar eclipse began at 7.59 am this morning. In India, it was visible from parts of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra and Delhi.
