Unique temple of Delhi: The effect of eclipse does not happen here … The doors of the temple are not closed even in the eclipse!
Lunar eclipse 2025: Whenever there is an eclipse in the sky, the doors of most temples across the country are closed. As soon as the sutak starts, the bells stop, the puja is stopped and the doors of darshan are also closed for the devotees. But the Kalkaji temple of the capital Delhi is completely different from this tradition. Here the eclipse does not affect, and the darshan of the Goddess Maa continues. Why after all?
Why are temples closed on eclipse?
Eclipse is considered inauspicious time in Hindu tradition. It is believed that during this time the atmosphere gets contaminated. For this reason, after the sutak, the idols of God are covered in temples, lamps are extinguished and worship is postponed. After the eclipse is over, the temples are re -opened up by purification.
Why is Kalkaji temple exception?
This rule does not apply in the oldest and famous mother Kalka temple of Delhi. Here, whether the eclipse of the sun or the moon, the doors are always open for the devotees. Actually, according to religious beliefs, the power of Mother Kali is such that the shadow of any eclipse cannot affect them. It is said that twelve zodiac signs and nine planets in this temple reside in the mother’s womb. That is, the planets and constellations themselves are the same sons of the mother. In such a situation, there is no justification for preventing worship here.
Faded eclipse in front of the power of mother Kali
In mythological beliefs, Kali has been called the goddess of time and destruction. His nature is so fierce that inauspicious incidents like eclipse cannot stand in his court. This is the reason that even during the eclipse here, the same devotional feeling and the same beauty that occurs on normal days.
Amazing experience for devotees
At the time of eclipse, when the doors of the rest of the temples are closed, then devotees in the Kalkaji temple can see the mother uninterruptedly. This tradition has made this temple even more special. This is the reason that devotees believe that there is no eclipse in the court of Maa Kali, only blessings!
