SWATCH BHARAT

The Central Govt’s SWATCH BHARAT has been successful.

However, there is one gaping hole!

Streets of India.

If we do not clean up our Streets and Incentivize Residents to Grow Flowering Plants Hindustan will never be become SWATCH and SUNDAR.

The State Govts have completely failed in making our streets Clean and Commutable [Including Pedestrian].

Indian Hindus have shown a palpable dislike for social hygiene, and civility.

Swachh Bharat has achieved visibility, but the streets remain India’s weakest link.
State governments have failed to enforce cleanliness and walkability.
Hindus, despite reverence for temples, often neglect social hygiene in public spaces.

So, where should the Govt. start?

⚙️ Why Temples Are the Key

Temples are sacred spaces where rules are accepted without resistance.

Any discipline imposed here carries moral legitimacy.

Habits formed in temples can spill over into streets and neighborhoods, creating a ripple effect.

The Govt. is missing a great opportunity to tap this easy route to make India’s streets which is the Visual Interface for all 140 Crores of Indians.

The list is being published for the vast number of Hindus in India and Abroad too.

Wash hands before eating prasadam; avoid touching anything else before eating.
Do not waste or discard prasadam improperly.
Take a full bath before visiting temples; go directly to the temple and return home afterward.
Maintain silence inside temples.
Avoid unrelated conversations in temple premises.
Be silent one hour before and after temple visits.
Do not chant loudly if it disturbs elders, pregnant women, babies, students, or the sick.
Play only devotional songs on festival days.
Do not honk vehicle horns within 500 meters of temple premises.
Respect temple queues; no pushing or rushing.
Do not spit or litter near temple grounds.
Refrain from using mobile phones inside temples.
Temples should be in rock or black granite color.
Dress modestly when visiting temples.
Show respect and kindness to others in temples.
Temple visits are for awareness, not bribing God.
No temple is more powerful than another; visit your nearest clean temple with austere priests.
Keep only six God idols or photos at home.
Do not offer flowers or fruits taken from neighbors.
If you neglect your parents, refrain from temple visits during that period.
Do not recommend your temple to others; everyone should find their own nearby temple.
Do not take hungry or unwell babies to temples.
Give food or snacks to a deserving person (watchman, maid, delivery worker, etc.) whenever you visit a temple.

If these rules are codified and enforced in temples, they will:

Normalize hygiene and civility.
Train millions of Hindus in disciplined conduct.
Extend temple discipline into streets, markets, and neighborhoods.
Transform India’s streets into a visual interface of order and respect for all 140 crore citizens.
