SOME DOs AND DONTs WHILE VISITING THE TEMPLE
We Hindus believe that a temple is an abode of God and a visit to the temple is a visit to the God. As such, we
should be very careful about our behavior in the presence of the Deity. The following are some guidelines.
• Wear clean and proper attire that is appropriate for the temple visit.
• Leave shoes outside so as not to drag dust and dirt in to the temple.
• Do not go to the temple empty handed. Take some fruit or flowers to offer to the Deity.
• Approach the Deity with respect.
• Do not engage in loud conversation in the presence of the Deity.
• At all times show respect to the Deity.
• Be courteous to other devotees.
• Maintain silence as much as possible while inside the temple.
• Do not let your children run around inside the temple.
• Help the management in keeping the temple premises clean.
• Follow the parking rules.
• Keep even temperament and cheerful countenance.
• Do not smoke or consume alcohol or eat non-vegetarian food on the premises.
These are only few of the suggestions that we can make. Please follow your common sense and help us serve you
better. Thanks.
