Walk around clockwise
Walk clockwise around the sanctum or through the temple, and pause before each Deity you come to.
It is customary to walk clockwise around the sanctum or through the temple. Begin with the Deity on your left and pause for a moment before each Deity you come to. The custom is a reminder that the Lord is the center of our lives and that our thoughts and actions should be centered on Him.
