Mind your feet
Do not point your feet toward the Deity, and do not let them touch people or sacred things.
When you sit in the temple, do not let your feet point toward any of the Deities; temples consider it disrespectful. Teachers of Vaiṣṇava behavior add that the feet should not touch people or anything sacred. Tuck them under you or turn them to the side.
