At the peak the Sun is 30° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Kanpur.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 3,242 km south-west of Kanpur.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 3,456 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.
