मंदिर शिष्टाचार Before you visit any temple

  • Dress modestlyCover shoulders and knees. Many temples lend a wrap or shawl at the door.
  • Shoes offLeave footwear on the racks before the shrines; some temples ask you to wash your feet too.
  • Phones and photosSilence your phone. Most temples forbid photos of the sanctum, so ask first.
  • OfferingsDon’t touch the murtis. Flowers, fruit and donations go to the counter or the priest.
  • PrasadTake prasad and tirtha in your right hand, and eat it rather than throw it away.
  • FoodBring no meat, eggs or alcohol. Many temples don’t allow outside food at all.
