The reason of south Indian temples emphasising on wearing saree and mundu

This has been interesting topic to talk about and different people have different views. I don’t believe in superstitious beliefs, what I always chase is the scientific reason and here’s what I have found out.

Earlier temples were built on places with high positive energy source of a certain locality. The main deity is placed at the arear of most amount of energy.

The unstitched cloth

When you enter the temple by draping a single piece of cloth it is easy for the energy to flow throughout the body. Since every thread in an uncut cloth remains intact, it is able to spread waves of Energy all over the cloth. Therefore, when an individual wears an uncut cloth, the Energy spreads in its body and it undergoes spiritual healing.

 When you cut the fabric into several pieces it threads are not intact anymore. When a cloth is cut, the continuity of the threads is destroyed. This creates obstacles in the flow of Energy through them which is not allowing the body to absorb the utmost energy available in the temple. Hence, wearing a stitched garment imparts less Energy and the extent of spiritual healing is also considered to be less.

Entering temple bare chested for men

Another point is the hair on our body act like natural receptors of energy in our body.

Men usually have hair on their chest area and armpits too. These hairs act as a receiver of charges present around them when they enter the Temple bare chested removing their upper garment. It is helping them to receive the energy easily.

This also [proves the point of taking pradakshnam (Parikrama or Pradakshina refers to circumambulation of sacred places to imbibe their energy in Sikh, Hindu, Jain or Buddhist context, and the path along which this is performed) to get the maximum positive energy from the temple premises.

And people also have the habit of raising their hands above their head and performing namaste which is allowing the hair on the armpits can absorb the positive energy from temple’s surroundings.

This is a fair enough theory which I thought of sharing after reading and knowing about scientific reasons of Hinduism in bits from many sources.
