Vedic Scholar: Why Wet Clothes Are Wrong for Temple Visits
•Vedic scholar Pulakanda Subrahmanya Sharma clarifies that wearing wet clothes ('tadi batta') for temple visits and deity worship is not scripturally correct.
•'Madi batta' (purified, dry clothes) are essential for deity worship and temple darshan, referring to clothes washed, dried, and then worn.
•'Tadi batta' (wet clothes) are only suitable for ancestral rites ('pitru karyas') like tarpana, not for sacred deity activities.
•Many devotees mistakenly wear wet clothes to temples; this practice is inauspicious and not scripturally sanctioned for divine darshan.
•Devotees are advised to wear clean, dry clothes for temple visits and deity worship to follow traditions and receive divine grace.
