Why Temples are remain closed during the Surya Grahan or Chandra Grahan?

Why temples are remain closed during the Surya Grahan or Chandra Grahan? This is the question we were asked by a visitor in our blog. I read this topic recently in a daily newspaper. I will let you know the reason why temples are remain closed during the Solar Eclipse or Lunar Eclipse.

Based on the relation between the Earth and the Moon and the Sun, the time and the panchangs are calculated. So when the Grahan happens to Moon or Sun, who provide energy and the light to this Earth, it is obviously a bad day to the Earth and the living world.

So the cultural and religious centers, the temples, are remain closed during the Solar Eclipse or Lunar Eclipse.

    It is bad day for Mankind only, not for God, right? Natural phenomena will not rule or abide the God & Temple. What does Veda say about this? Give that portion of that Veda in Sankrit and explanation in English, Pls

      I will try to collect the information and the sanskrit slokas also. But with the harmful rays of eclipse may harm the tejas or the shakti of the idols in the temple. That is the reason about closing temples during Grahan.

    So, the temples will be closed in the morning of 25th as well or it will be closed only in the evening as Chandra Grahan takes place in the night.

    Will they be open as usual on 26th. I am planning for some temple visits in Kanchipuram on 25th morning. If the temples will be closed on 25th morning, I will try to make it on 26th morning.

    Please advice

      Dear Prakash,

      The temples will be closed in the evening on 25th April and after Samprokshana and Shanti Pujas, the temples will be opened in the early morning on 26th April 2013.

        Dear Mr. Naveen Sanagala,

        Thanks for the reply.

        If the temples in Kanchipuram will be open in the Morning of 25th, I will try to make a trip as scheduled.

        Thanks a lot.
