At the times of the equinoxes ... a moment on March 21
and another one around September 22.
Yes, the sun will shine directly on Telangana during certain times of the year. Specifically, this occurs around the equinoxes, typically in March and September, when the sun is directly overhead at the equator. In Telangana, which is located in the southern hemisphere, the sun will be at its zenith, causing direct sunlight to be felt during these months.
No, the sun is never directly over any point on earth north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5° north latitude and 23.5° south latitude respectively. Houston is located at around 30 degrees North, so the sun will always be towards the south of overhead. On June 21st at noon, the sun is only 7 degrees shy of shining ''directly overhead", namely at 83 degrees above the southern horizon. This is pretty high up, in fact much higher than it ever gets in Europe.
No. The sun can never be overhead at any latitude that's more than about 23.5 degrees north or south. (What's the matter ? Doesn't Houston get hot enough for you in August ???)
The region of the Earth's surface between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees North) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees South) is known as the tropics. Within this region, the sun can shine directly overhead at least once a year, leading to a more direct and intense sunlight experience.
It just means that either the rain was blown from a cloud not directly overhead, or the sun is not overhead (which is more common than not) but a cloud is, causing it to rain.
The sun shines directly overhead at the equator on September 22 during the equinox. This phenomenon marks the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
Equinox
Never. The sun never goes past about 23 degrees north or south of the equator.
The sun's rays are always directly overhead somewhere on earth. Twice a year,at the moment of each equinox, that place is somewhere on the equator.
It is called the Equinox. It is when both axis of the world are facing away from the sun. The sun's plane then is directly over the Equator. It happens twice a year, there is the September Equinox and the March Equinox.

The rays of the Sun fall more directly on the equator because the Sun shines more on the center of the Earth.

They are called the "tropics", and during sometime in the year in these areas, the Sun will reach the zenith and shine vertically overhead.

Generally speaking, rain comes from a cloud that is directly or almost directly above you. The sun, however, is not usually directly overhead. You can have a rain cloud overhead with a break in the clouds to the side where the sun can shine through. In some cases, the wind can blow rain away from the rain cloud and out under clear skies.
