Following guidelines are based on the best available scientific / medical information and will allow continued safety of our priests and devotees as you visit the temple.

Guidelines to be STRICTLY followed by all devotees during Temple visit:

• Devotees should be free of Corona virus symptoms - cold, cough, fever, body aches. Each devotee’s temperature will be checked before entering the temple.
• Devotees are required to wear a facemask fully covering their mouths and noses. ICCT will NOT provide any masks to the devotees.
• Maintain strict social distance of a minimum of 6 feet from others inside the temple. Use the marked boxes on the floor to maintain distance.
• Family members must stay together and move as one-unit.
• Devotees can bring fruits if they wish to offer to the deities. These fruits will need to be washed outside the temple doors with soap and water (will be provided by ICCT). Devotees also will need to wash their hands with soap and water before entering the temple.
• Avoid standing and talking in groups outside the temple. Strictly follow social distancing when interacting with others outside the temple.
• During Dharma Darshan, to allow maximum number of devotees to have darshan, you will NOT be allowed to sit in the temple. Devotees will follow clearly marked paths to have the darshan of all the deities and exit the temple soon. This will help other devotees who are waiting to have darshan, Please follow directions of the trustees / volunteers during your visit.
• Multi ceremonial pavilion and Narasimhaswamy temple will remain CLOSED to all devotees during Dharma Darshan.

REQUEST YOUR FULL SUPPORT AND CO-OPERATION DURING YOUR TEMPLE VISIT. Please note that further relaxation in the restrictions entirely depends upon your kind co-operation.

May Lord Venkateswara and Chandramouliswara guide us all during these unprecedented times.

Warm Regards,

ICCT Board of Trustees
