The Modern Feet Washing System


Another new addition in the process of modernisation at Sarala Temple. The leg-washing place not maintained well. There's no water when we visited on 10th March. What's probably required is not to copy provisions at other temples but to study the foot-wear preference of majority of devotees at Sarala Temple in a year and taking action to build a washing place that provides the same ambience as the floor material of the ancient temple where the devotees are likely to head after washing their feet and providing continuous flow of water by recycling a fixed amount of water by removing dirt in a process of recycling. I wish there are some devotees of Godess Sarala who will take up and implement this small project particularly keeping in mind the monsoon moths when the mud-content in washed water is likely to be very high.
