Sunset is the best time to see a partial Solar Eclipse. I like that you don't have to buy number 8 or 10 welder's glass to see it without going blind.

Well, not blind as fast, anyway. Even at sunset, with a Sun that doesn't elicit a blink reflex, you can damage your retina looking at it for very long. IR can be a problem.

(Probably not too dangerous when the light comes through what passes for air in most of India.)

This eclipse was the last of two solar eclipses (both partial eclipses) in 2022.
