"Someone said, 'What are the things not to do while going to temples ?!' Let's take a brief look at it. "
The 'temple' is the abode of the Lord. It is said in the scriptures that one should go here and worship the Lord. Let's take a brief look at what one should not do while going to temples in that category.
If you see things that should not be done while going to temples.
1. It is a great sin to go to the temple with anger, guilt and hatred in mind. 2. Bathing and not wearing clean clothes is more sinful than that. 3. Do not go to the temple without wearing vibudhi, sandalwood and saffron on the forehead. 4. Eating non-vegetarian food and going to the temple is a great sin. 5. Swami Sannidhis should not be visited in a hurry.
6. Do not go to the temple wearing tambourine. 7. Do not enter the temple wearing a shirt or wrapping. Perhaps, if we go without a shirt, our body can fully receive the waves of the Lord’s gravity. This is followed in the temples of Kerala.
8. Chandikeswarar in Shiva temples is one who is in Shiva thought. So he should not stand in front and clap his hands and click. It is immoral to put thread on him, and to put saffron and saffron on him. Some even do things like this. 9. Vibudhi, sandalwood, anointing should not be seen when other marriages to the Swami. It is ritual. Most people do not know this. 10. Do not spit on the inside of the temple or on the walls. That is the great sin.
11. No fighting, beheading, gambling, laughing, stretching the legs inside the temple. 12. Do not look when the Lord is healing. 13. Do not go across Swami and Nandi especially in Shiva temples. Shiva Moolava, forms should not be touched or trampled if given the opportunity.
14. Do not step on the shadow of the tower, the flagpole, the altar, or the idol. 15. Do not go to the temple without cleaning in the morning. 16. Do not stop and go to the temple without doing the daily worship at home. So there is no point.
17. Do not go to the temple without taking a bath after touching those who are on death row. 18. Do not tread on the water, bow and flowers of the Lord, even by mistake, while roaming the prakaras.
19. Do not go to the temple with wet clothes or clothes that are not clean. 20. Take coconuts, betel leaves and baguettes to the temple. Do not treat the Lord with the substance of others. 21. Swami idols should not be touched or camphor should not be loaded without permission from the administration.
22. Do not light the lamps in the temple by hand or wipe the oil stain on the wall with the light of the incandescent hand. 23. No one should fall at his feet and worship inside the temple. Because there is only one Lord and the greatest.
24. It is good to go with the family to the temple worship. If you go to the compensation level you have to return home without anyone else going home. This is the scientific canon. 25.

36. The deity should not be worshipped while the doors of the temple are closed. 37. When travelling in two-wheeler and cars it is not advisable to get out of the chariot and bow to the deity by name from outside without politely going inside the temple. Such an act is an insult to the deity.
Do not do all this while going to temples like this.
