We now have a Mandir to be very proud of and it is important that we all take responsibility to follow and ensure others kindly adhere to the rules:
1. Modest and respectable attire should be worn, particularly in the presence of the deities
2. Devotees should avoid entering the Mandir during the period of 'Sutak' following family bereavements and births. Other restrictions of ritual impurity should similarly be followed.
3. No illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco, should be brought or consumed. Smoking is therefore not permitted across the whole site.
4. Meat, fish and eggs and even onion & garlic are strictly prohibited.. This rule also applies to private functions in the community hall.
5. Silence should be maintained in the Mandir and mobile phones should be switched off or turned to silent during pooja & arti.
6. The deities (Murties) are living divinities so photography inside the Mandir is strictly prohibited.
7. Before entering Mandir shoes should be removed.
8. Money should be placed in allocated donation boxes and not placed in the shrine area.
9. Contributions of flowers and tulasi leaves are very welcome. However dyed flowers should not be offered as they can contain animal based products.
10. No loose oil or ghee to be taken into Mandir
11. Please help to keep the Mandir clean at all times
