Richfield Sree Venkateswara Hindu Temple Etiquette:
Sree Venkateswara Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to the worship of Lord Venkateswara (Balaji) in accordance with the Sri Vaishnava Sampradayam following Pancharatra Agama.
The following guidelines are to be strictly observed in the Temple:
Idols: Touching idols in the sanctum and Utsava Murthis anywhere is strictly prohibited.
Attire: Refrain from wearing shorts, tank tops, leather apparel and revealing outfits.
Prasadam: Home cooked prasadam will not be offered as ‘naivedyam’ to the deities. Devotees are allowed to bring whole fruits (not cut), dry fruits and nuts, oil, ghee, flowers, dhupam (agarbathi) or milk for abhishekam as personal offering to the deities.
Offerings: Please hand your personal offerings to the priest or as directed by the priest in the baskets outside the Sanctums. Kindly do not reach into the Sanctums at any time to leave your personal offerings inside the Sanctums. Kindly do not interrupt the priest in the middle of the pooja to give your personal offerings.
Sankeerthanam (bhajans): It is the sampradayam, that in HIS presence only HIS name is sung. Therefore, all bhajans and songs should be about Srimannarayana or HIS avatars (Rama, Krishna, etc), HIS consorts, Garuda and Hanuman in the main hall. Please do not use the prefix or suffix of your personal guru(s) in the bhajans. For proper compliance with the bhajans, please contact the religious committee.
