As the situation of Coronavirus has imposed a lockdown all over, we would not advise anyone to step out on roads to see it. You can alternately head to your terrace and watch this rare moment. As per Poornaprajna Amateur Astronomers’ Club in Udupi, people can observe the zero shadow moment at 12.28 PM. You can go to your terrace around 12.15 PM and keenly observe your shadow and observe if it becomes thinner. If you observe around 12.28 that it's disappearing, then take a short jump and see if you can watch it. If you cannot go out or do not have a terrace, observe the trees or any light pole closely, see if you can observe its shadow.
