Why Should You Not Go To The Temple In The Afternoon?

According to the scriptures, there are three main reasons why you shouldn’t visit the temples in the afternoon.

Another reason is that mostly the temple doors are closed in the afternoon and it is believed to be sleeping and resting time for the deities. With this belief, if you visit any temple in the afternoon, it is considered to be equivalent to disturbing them while sleeping.

It is also mentioned in the scriptures, that humans and sacred beings should visit the temples in the morning or evening as only ghosts, ancestors and unsatisfied souls are around during the afternoon.
