At the instant of greatest eclipse (12:03 UT), the Moon will stand near 
the zenith for observers in the central Pacific. At that time, the umbral 
eclipse magnitude will be only 0.068. North Americans will all see the 
start of the event, but the Moon sets by mid-eclipse for observers east of 
the Mississippi River and Great Lakes. Further west, the entire event is 
visible from the Pacific coast provinces and states as well as eastern 
Asia and Australia.

Moon enters umbra               17  11 34.0 UT  0634 EST  1704 IST

Moon leaves penumbra            17  14 15.1

In India as per above schedule, lunar eclipse starts at 1704 IST and ends 
at 1803 IST. 
In Chennai, the moon rise is at 1744 IST. Hence it is already eclipsed. So 
there is 19 minutes of eclipse seeable in Chennai. So Chennai residents 
have to do filial rites in 19 minutes.

In Bangalore, moon rise is at 1755 IST. So there is only 8 minutes of 
eclipse duration visible. Since this interval is insufficient, Bangalore 
residents are exempted from doing Tarpana. 

In Mysore moonrise is at 1759 IST and so just four minutes of eclipse is 
visible. So Mysore residents also spared from Tarpana. 
 I presume that I have given the right times of EST in NEWYORK. I think 
there will be grastAsta by 0703 EST by which time you have to finish 
Tarpana if any.  US Westcoast and East Asia residents may see the entire 
eclipse.

If any error is there anybody please correct me.
