What you will see
Mityana is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:49:11 local time, the Moon hides 24% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:42:08 and ends at 14:51:05, 2 h 9 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 69° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Mityana.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,120 km north-east of Mityana.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Āl Ma‘ūdah, about 2,125 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 23 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.
