It is customary to cover your head with a handkerchief, shawl or cap while you are in the temple. Please dress in a conservative manner. Adults are expected to wear ankle-length clothing.

Please leave your shoes and other leather items (e.g. wallet or belt) outside the temple. An attendant will look after them.






Smoking, chewing paan masala or gutka, gambling or playing cards is not allowed in the temple. Please refrain from entering the temple if you have eaten meat or have consumed alcohol or other intoxicating drinks. 

It is extremely impolite to point you feet towards the deities while sitting or lying down in the temple.

Please behave in a courteous manner towards the other devotees. Do not shout or make unnecessary noise in the temple bhavan.
