Lunar Eclipse 2026: Why temples are closed and reopening timings
Temples close during lunar eclipses, pausing public worship and routine offerings from the Sutak period until the eclipse fully ends. This pause signifies a time for inward reflection and personal prayer, not a cessation of divine presence. After the eclipse, temples undergo cleansing rituals before reopening for darshan.
