Asalu direct choosthey problem enti? Sun ni normal ga direct choodalem so eppudu try cheysina problem ey kada why ee rojey problem la cheystunnaru?

Ee roju once the sun comes from behind the moon, the angle of the light rays means there are going to be more ultraviolet rays that would be emitted compared to the normal. 

Plus total darkness lo your pupils will dilate, once the sun comes out with full intensity they will have to expand suddenly causing damage to the retina. Of course wearing good protective eyewear will take care of this issue, but unless you are a 100% sure of the eyewear you have it's not worth taking a risk.

All good with science. Now let's talk about hindu tradition

Here are some of the things that people do and don't do during solar eclipses:

1. Worshipping or touching gods is strictly prohibited during this period. Even temple doors usually stay closed during eclipses. After the eclipse ends, the idols are supposed to be washed with Ganga water to purify them.

2. Meditation, chanting hymns or mantras and singing devotional songs during an eclipse are supposed to protect one from the evil effects.

3. The rules dictate that no food should be cooked during the eclipse. Leftovers are finished off before the period of the eclipse. Some people in India leave tulsi or Indian basil leaves on cooked food items, and cover them to keep them safe.

4. Sleeping, urination, defecation, sexual intercourse and makeup are also prohibited during the eclipse.

5. Pregnant women are considered to be especially susceptible to the evil forces during eclipses. Not only are they supposed to abstain from activities like cutting vegetables and stitching clothes, but in some parts of India, they're not even supposed to sit with their legs crossed.

6. After the eclipse is over, people are directed to take a bath, and change into fresh and clean clothes. Sprinkling of Ganga water or taking a dip in the Ganga is also supposed to wash away the evil done by the eclipse.

This was true when Ganga isn't as polluted as it is now. Maynot so relevant to the current world we live in now.
