Bhubaneswar: People in several places of Odisha witnessed a rare celestial sight of a huge ring around Sun on a cloudy day on Sunday.
While people could see the view in sky with naked eyes, Director of Pathani Samanta Planetarium Kailash Chandra Sahoo said it was an optical illusion created by interference between sunlight and ice crystals in clouds. It generally indicates chances of rainfall, he added.
