Temple and Culture

                                                                      Temple


when you go to temple you must  clear your mind and body for accepting the new energy ....

1) Bath and wear new dress  or washed dress 
2) Don't massage your hair and body with oil before going to visit temple
3) Don't wear shoes,caps,kaili , shirt and pants (restricted in some temples only),wear " dhothy "
4)  men's don't wear shirts and ladies don't hide their face and head
5) smoking is strictly prohibited in temple 
6) Don't spit in temple
              
                                    Pradakshinam (walking around the temple)
 
     pradakshin for ganapathy -one times
                        sun- two times
                        shiva - three times
                        others also vishnu -four times
                         these are required
walk slowly like when a pregnant lady walk

Handa must in this position


Arayal pradakshanam

manthra:
moolatho brahma roopaya mdhyatho 
vishnu roopaya agrahtho shivaroopaya
vriksharajayathe namaha

meaning:i respects loard brahma who situvated in the lower part of baniyan tree and loard vishnu who in the middle part and also loard shiva who in the upper part of the tree

During visiting shiva temple don't walk around the temple .
you will reach a side of temple where you can  pipe with water from sree kovil (temple of god) , see the upper part of the temple and walk reversely(don't go forward )

Ganapathy vandan



ohm vigneshvara vishva roopam kumbotharam 
manoharam sundaram komalangam
sree ganesham thama namamyaham
or
 ohm gagananam bhathaganathi sevitham kabhithvajam bhuphala sara bhakshitham umasutham shoka vinasha karanam 
namamyaham vidghneshvara vishva roopam

or
ohm aekadendam mahakayam
thaptha kangana sannibham
parvathee hridhayanandham 
vandeham gananayakam
