Sabarimala temple will be closed for four hours

The temples at Sabarimala will be closed from 7.30 am to 11.30 am on the 26th of December due to Solar Eclipse. The same applies to temples like Malikappuram and Pampa. This was after the Tantri Kandararu Mahesh Mohanar informed that it was not advisable to open the temple during the eclipse. The temple, which opens at three o'clock in the morning, will be closed at 7:30 am after Abhishekam and Neyya Bhishekam. It is only after the eclipse that it will be opened at 11.30 am. Sabarimala executive officer said that the puja times at the temples will be arranged accordingly.
