People in pune practically experienced the zero shadow day at about 12.31 pm on thursday, amid the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent restrictions levied by the maharashtra government.
For locations between +23.5 and -23.5 degrees latitude, the phenomenon of zero shadow Day happens twice a year. The sun is at its peak point throughout this period highest imaginary point directly above a location, on the imaginary celestial sphere.

Because the earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees to the plane of its revolution around the sun, people living in +23.5 and -23.5 degrees latitude will see the sun's angular distance from a point north or south of the equator equal to their latitude twice a year: once when it is moving north towards the equator (Uttarayan) and once when it is moving south towards the equator (Uttarayan) (Dakshinyan).

These are the two days that the sun does not throw a shadow on the ground in the regions between the tropics — the Tropics of cancer and Capricorn.

Astronomy amateur groups for school students and the general public went online this year due to the current pandemic. On thursday, India's oldest Astronomy amateur group, Pune's Jyotirvidya Parisanstha (JVP), streamed the event live on their social media platforms.

While the phenomenon has already begun in Maharashtra's coastal towns, amateurs and experts in aurangabad are gearing up to experience it on May 19. This year's event will take place in July, but it will be more difficult to witness during the monsoon season.
