when I spotted the 22deg halo around the Sun (from my home in west
delhi). It was around 10:45 AM in the morning, the sun was hidden
behind a building from my point of view and hence the glare was
minimum. The halo was red on the inside, blue on the outside and the
inside of the circle was significantly darker than the outside. I
quickly checked extended my fist to measure the radius of the circle,
i could fit about two fists. So it sould be about 20degrees in
radius. There were no sun dogs.
> Quick reporting and checking with friends and collegues in and
around delhi showed that the Halo was visible from Gurgaon, East
Delhi and Central Delhi and Rohini.

beautiful pictures, CB should be posting them soon.
