Believers wait and sit on the temple floor, heated by floor heating, until the puja (homage of the gods) starts. However, the Sri Kamadchi Ampal temple is a distinct exception of Hindu temples in Germany regarding size, architecture and provision. All other temples operate on a much smaller, nevertheless similar enthusiastic and engaged scale. This will be shown by the following images.
