First, you enter the temple through a gate. there you will find a small yard where you have to keep your footwear and enter a doorway. Then you will find yourself in a 3 metres (9.8 ft) passageway where on either side there are elevated platforms, usually used for sitting or on a program(found in almost all the temples in Moodabidre). Then you enter the outer part of the temple where you will find some space to walk around. It is strictly prohibited to walk around the temple anti-clockwise(just like in Hindu temples). Then you will find another door (image-_) which is the main entrance of the temple. after entering inside you'll find yourself inside a hall with a tray on the center. This tray is used for the flowers which will be provided to the Tirthankara.
