What you will see
Gandhinagar is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 16:34:55 local time, the Moon hides 23.3% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 15:44:52 and ends at 17:21:22, 1 h 37 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 36° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Gandhinagar.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,451 km south-west of Gandhinagar.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 2,603 km south-west, where totality lasts 3 m 26 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
