To respect the peace and personal space of our Deities, we have banned photography for the general public. Respect for the Deity - The Mandir is the private residence of Krishna and the other Deities who are regarded as living beings.В According to the principles of вЂBhaktiвЂ™ (devotional service), the Deities are treated as one would treat an honoured guest, a child or a King. Our photography policy is similar to that of some of the most important and powerful Hindu temples in India including Aarasur-Ambaji, Tirupati-Balaji, ShriNathji-Nathdwara, Jagannath-Puri and Badrinath etc. At our Mandir, we hope to create an experience where our worshippers and other visitors are transported away from their routineВ 21st century lives, into the spiritual atmosphere of a classical Hindu temple. The vision of Shree Krishna Mandir, West Bromwich is to revive the ancient sciences of Hindu architecture вЂVastu ShastraвЂ™ and Hindu temple rituals вЂTantra-Agama ShastraвЂ™. The Mandir Management Committee is permitted to take photos of the Deities on very special occasions, but only after special rituals are performed to seek approval from the installed Deities.Д«ut why do other Mandirs allow photography?ДЄs photography was invented after the Vedic scriptures were composed, Hindu temples across the globe each have very different opinions as to whether photography should be allowed. The general public is strictly not permitted to take photos inside of the Mandir, whilst there are no such restrictions in the hall and the outside of the building.В On special occasions, the MandirвЂ™s authorised cameraperson will be permitted to film/take photos inside the Mandir, however, with restrictions on capturing the Deities.
