6 Temples Defy Eclipse: Doors Never Close During Chandra Grahan 2026

• While most temples close during eclipses, six specific temples keep their doors open for devotees.
• Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple, a Jyotirlinga, remains open as Lord Shiva is considered unaffected by eclipses.
• Delhi's Kalkaji Temple stays open as Kalkaji Devi controls the cycle of time, making her immune to planetary effects.
• Kerala's Sree Krishna Temple in Thiruvappu keeps doors open to ensure continuous food offerings to a 'hungry' Lord Krishna.
• Gaya's Vishnupad Temple and Bikaner's Laxminath Temple also remain open for ancestral rites and continuous worship, respectively.
