deity, even the entire place

deity, even the entire place where the temple is located has the divine vibration. One should relate with the 5 elements of that place to get the best benefits.

Earth – We walk inside temple without our footwear

Water – We are given Thirtha

Fire – We are shown the Aarti plate and we take the heat to our eyes and forehead

Air – We breathe the atmospheric air of the place

Sky – Of course, after our Dharshan we sit in an open area within the temple place and meditate.

So every pilgrimage has its own worth.
