Some
Tips for Devotees
Devotees are required to have a
Darshan Parchi (temple admission card) to be able to enter
the temple. The Darshan Parchi can be
obtained from the security office near the temple or the
Chintpurni Trust's Reception Cetre located at the New Bus
Stand and Car Parking complex.
On busy days disabled persons wishing to use the lift may
be required to show relevant documentation about their
disability.
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.
If you wish to make a donation,
please put it directly in the donation box or daan-patra
which is so marked. Please do not hand it over to any
unauthorized person.
Please help us maintain a
healthy and clean environment. Please put all rubbish in
the bins placed for this purpose.
Beware of pick-pockets or chain snatchers. If you see any
abandoned item, do not touch it. Please inform the temple
security staff.
