    Please also see the following pages with the Ten Offences To Avoid while staying at the Holy Dham.

    Volunteer for Service

    Please volunteer for service duties, especially during the busy times of our major festivals. Please ask for service opportunities that are available.

    Electricity Restrictions

    Please do not use high-wattage electrical appliances.

    Water Supply

    The regular water supply is not always constant; it is therefore prudent to keep your bathing bucket filled with water. There is a water pump that supplies the Temple with drinking water this water is filtered.

    Confirm Rickshaw Fares

    Always settle the rickshaw fare before starting your journey. It is a good idea to confirm the agreed fare by showing the number of fingers corresponding to the amount of rupees.

    General Health Tips

    Please take care of your health. India is a tropical country, and even Indians are cautious to adjust to changes in water, climate, and environment when travelling from place to place within their own country. Therefore for your good health:

    • Always drink bottled water. Either purchase mineral water or use a small electric element to boil your daily supply of drinking water.

    • Use your own plate and cup, and properly wash them and your hands before and after meals.

    • Cooked food is generally safe, and fruit should be properly washed and peeled, and as we all have heard so many times: "The solution is in Prasadam."

    • Bring first-aid items including basic treatment for diarrhea, colds, flu, minor cuts, etc. If in doubt, take advice from a doctor.

    • If you think you need them, bring a supply of vitamins and other food supplements.

  • While staying at the temple, donations to help cover the costs of prasadam, electricity, and water are deeply appreciated but not compulsory. Contributions are entirely at your discretion and should suit your means.

    There are opportunities to serve within the temple during your stay, offering a meaningful way to engage and support the devotees.
