shri badrinath dham: Devotees gather at Har Ki Pauri for Ashwini Purnima rituals as India prepares for partial Lunar eclipse
In adherence to Hindu customs, lunar eclipses are times of abstinence from bathing, charitable acts, or religious ceremonies. Temples also observe closures during this period. During a lunar eclipse, it is advised to stay indoors and refrain from initiating new endeavors or engaging in activities. Pregnant women are particularly urged to remain indoors and abstain from activities such as sewing, handling sharp objects like scissors or knives, and even eating, to safeguard the well-being of the unborn child.
