Where can I go to see the Transit?

Many Institutes, schools and colleges across the country are organising Venus Transit observations on the morning of the 6th for their communities. Here is a list of events for the public, and free of cost. Please email me any event not listed here at nirujmohanr@gmail.com and I will add it here.

In addition to the following, BGVS is organising public events in many places in almost every state (e.g. 300 schools in Bihar, all districts in Kerala, 200 places in Puducherry, 50 schools in Rajasthan and Punjab each etc). You can contact them here for more info. I will also add specific places here as and when I find out more.
