Discovering the Magic of Zero Shadow Day 

At Saket Sreeyuga Enclave, an extraordinary event unfolded, captivating the hearts and minds of local residents. Zero Shadow Day, organized by Padmasri Naidu, offered a glimpse into nature's intriguing spectacle for all to enjoy. 

Zero Shadow Day occurs when the Sun aligns perfectly overhead, causing objects to cast little to no shadow. This rare phenomenon, occurring twice annually, showcases the harmonious interplay between Earth and Sun, a dance of light and angles that captivates observers. 

Families and individuals from the community gathered to witness this marvel. Children giggled as they saw their shadows diminish, while adults marveled at the celestial alignment. Padmasri Naidu emphasized the importance of such events, highlighting our connection with nature and the need for environmental stewardship.
