Rudraprayag: The doors of Kedarnath and Badrinath temples will remain closed on Tuesday in view of the partial solar eclipse.
After the eclipse, puja will be performed in the evening, the Chief Administrative Officer of the Shri Kedarnath-Badrinath Temple Committee said.
Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee president Ajendra Ajay told that the doors of the temple will be opened after the eclipse period.
The eclipse will begin before sunset in the late afternoon and will be visible from most areas.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, obstructing the sun's light from reaching the earth. As a result, the moon casts a shadow on the earth, resulting in a solar eclipse.
