A very important component of Hindu prayer rituals is the \u201cparikrama\u201d \u092a\u0930\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0930\u092e\u093e in order to imbibe the sacred energy of the spiritual center.\u00a0 The term parikrama means a path surrounding something. This is essentially circumambulating around the inner sanctum of the temple where the deity resides. Also known as \u201cPradakshina\u201d, meaning \u201cto the right\u201d it is usually done in a clockwise direction for an odd number of times. When one does that, one's right side is facing the deity inside the \u201cgarbhagraham\u201d or the inner sanctum. It is also known as \u201cgirivalam\u201d which translates as \u201cgiri\u201d meaning mountain and \u201cvalam\u201d which means coming around.Apart from a parikrama carried around the temple sanctum, it is also done around the sacred fire, a Tulsi plant, and\/or a Peepal tree. It may be conducted around any positive spiritual center, hence being done around sacred lakes and hills too."}
