Eclipse everyone should be aware, This time its Solar eclipse (Suryagrahana ) ,This year its on 26th Jan which is visiable in Australia, Southeast India, Southeast Asia Indonesia and Africa. As per traditional Hindu calendar, January 26 is an Amavasya day. All Hindu temples remain closed during Suryagahan and will reopen only after the Grahan after conducting special pujas and rituals. Usually, religious Hindus do not take any food for about 4 to 5 hours before Grahana starts. During Grahana time and they purify themselves by taking bath and chants the Mantras , Vishnu sahasranama , and Japas. During this time its said to give Pithru Tharpanas. Myself & Bharathi drawn this theme.
