Re: Preparing for a Pilgrimage
Nayasurya,
I already had an idea that the left hand is never used to accept anything in the temple, but interesting note about the water. I'm glad to have that corroborated with regular temple goers. I remember also some members posting that vibhuti and other pastes are accepted with the ring finger of the right hand.
More than likely I will begin just be watching the other devotees and pilgrims closely here at home and abroad. Rather than read about all these observances, the best thing to do is simply observe and follow their lead.
Thanks again for all the help.
