Which temples are open during Surya Grahan?

Most temples close their inner sanctuaries during a solar eclipse, reopening after the eclipse ends and the idols are purified. Shiva temples are the primary exception — they remain open during Grahan in most traditions, as Lord Shiva governs the cosmic dissolution that eclipses represent. Hanuman temples are also accessible in many sampradayas.
