Event Guidelines

Last Updated: January 5, 2026

These guidelines are designed to ensure a seamless, spiritual, and respectful experience for all devotees participating in events and poojas organized by esankalpam.

General Conduct

  • Respect the Sanctity: Please maintain silence and decorum within the temple or event premises. Mobile phones should be on silent mode.
  • Dress Code: Traditional or modest attire is recommended. Avoid shorts, sleeveless tops, or inappropriate clothing.
  • Punctuality: Arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to complete any registration or seating formalities.

Participation

  • Sankalpam Details: Ensure all details provided for the Sankalpam (Name, Gotra, Nakshatra) are accurate. Corrections may not be possible once the ritual begins.
  • Family Participation: If you have booked for a family, ensure all members reflect the count provided during registration. Seating is often allocated based on booking numbers.
  • Offerings: While most required materials are provided, if you wish to bring flowers or fruits, please check the specific event details or contact the coordinator.

Health & Safety

  • Illness: If you are feeling unwell or have symptoms of a contagious illness, please participate remotely (if available) to protect the community.
  • Children: Children are welcome but must be supervised by parents/guardians at all times to prevent disruption of the rituals.

Remote/Online Participation

  • Connectivity: Ensure you have a stable internet connection for live-streamed events.
  • Setup: Create a quiet, clean space in your home for participation. Keeping a diya (lamp) lit during the pooja is considered auspicious.
  • Timing: Log in 5-10 minutes early to resolve any technical issues before the sankalpam begins.

Photography & Recording

Photography is generally restricted during the main rituals to maintain sanctity. Please look for signage or announcements regarding permitted times for photos.
