What you will see
Hugli is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 16:43:26 local time, the Moon hides 5.6% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 16:14:47 and ends at 17:11:00, 56 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 20° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Hugli.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 3,419 km south-west of Hugli.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 4,122 km 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.
