5 Small Steps Towards Protecting Temples

Visit a temple at least once every week, especially the smaller, lesser-known ones.

Support a local temple in whatever way possible—participate in events and festivals, support financially, raise funds, offer seva by organising events or by doing odd jobs like serving prasad, helping in admin work etc.

Post photos of temples on social media, WhatsApp status, etc. with small captions about the temple to create awareness and kindle interest in others to visit the same.

Every now and then take a friend/group along with you and share the significance of that specific temple.

Express your gratitude to the priest by offering dakshina to him (and not the hundi alone) for they are vital to the protection of our temples. Also, if they are motivated to do this noble work, they will encourage their younger generations to carry it forward.
