Solar Eclipse 2023: Dos and Don'ts On Surya Grahan
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon lies between the sun and the earth. It blocks the light of the sun for some time.

Solar Eclipse Has Been Proved As A Misfortune In The Historical Scriptures
A solar eclipse is said to bring misfortunes along with it. History, through scriptures, details about various cases when a solar eclipse has been proved as a misfortune.
According to the Mahabharata, the day when the Pandavas lost the game of gambling to Kauravas, saw a solar eclipse. When the Pandava prince, Arjuna, killed the commander of the Kauravas, a solar eclipse was observed. The day when Lord Krishna's kingdom, Dwarka, got submerged, again a solar eclipse was observed.
The reason being associated behind this is that since Surya Dev is considered as a fatherly god, and is often seen as a king as well, an obstruction in the path of the sun means an obstruction for the king as well.
What Hindu Mythology Says About the History Of Solar Eclipse
According to one story, once Rahu, a celestial body known to affect the birth chart of a person, had blocked the path of the sun, which caused darkness all around. Hence, people got frightened, as a solution to which Maharishi Atri used his divine powers, removed Rahu from the path, and brought the light of the sun back. This was marked as the first solar eclipse.
Dos and Don'ts On A Solar Eclipse Day
Along with these, there are some things which are considered very auspicious and some things which have to be abstained from.
1.
Sun
God
worshipped
as
Surya
Dev
in
India
is
the
god
of
power,
self-confidence,
social
respect
as
well
as
success.
It
is
believed
that
chanting
the
mantras
of
Surya
on
the
day
of
solar
eclipse,
brings
good
luck
and
happiness.
The
time
is
auspicious
for
meditation
as
well.
2.
However,
the
time
of
solar
eclipse
has
been
described
as
that
of
Sutak
in
our
scriptures.
Sutak
refers
to
the
inauspicious
time.

and
idol
worship
should
not
be
performed
on
this
day.
3.
Pregnant
women
are
advised
not

go
out

The

radiations
of
the
sun
might
penetrate
through
the
delicate
skin
of
the
belly
covering
the
foetus
of
the
woman.
4.
One
must
even
avoid
eating
plants
and
fruits
exposed
to
the
sun.
Speaking
scientifically,
they
contain
the
harmful
radiations
of
the
sun.
5.
Since
aluminium
and
steel
conduct
the
harmful
rays
and
reflect
them
back,
one
should
avoid
using
knives
as
well
as
other
such
objects
during
the
solar
eclipse.
6.
It
is
advised
that
one
must
avoid
eating
in
the
open
on
the
day
of
the
solar
eclipse,
which
has
been
described
to
be
inauspicious
as
well
as
harmful
due
to
the
radiations
of
the
sun
scientifically.
In
fact,
one
should
avoid
eating
or
cooking
during
this
period.
7.
Avoid
sleeping
during
this
time.

Avoid
touching
Tulsi
