Importance of Pradakshina or Going Around the Deity or the
Sanctum Sanctorum in Hindu Temple  Pradakshina or
circumambulating is an important customary act performed in a
temple by Hindus. Going around the Deity or the Sanctum
Sanctorum in a Hindu Temple is of great significance and it also
has symbolic meaning.  Everything begins and ends in God or
Bhagvan or Ishwara. God is the point of origin of everything and
we are constantly connected to it. After praying to the deity we
go around the deity or the Sanctum Sanctorum to recognize the
fact that we begin in him and end in him.  While
circumambulating, we kill our ego and we realize, we are moving
at the end of the thread which is controlled by him.  It is also
believed that the deity in the sanctum sanctorum is placed in
such a way that it absorbs and sends out vibrations and
radiations. And a person going around the deity will be
benefited from this.  ‘Pradakshina’ means ‘moving rightward.’
Some people also go around themselves or turn in a full circle
