As usual I request to those that are not conversant with Hinduism OT temples or question may kindly refrain from passing sarcastic remarks.
Share your valuable knowledge and enable all to learn from you.
thanks in advance.
Edit;
@sixth; I accept your comment.I have observed so many things in the present day people (many) are doing so many things that they shall not do.I can not say , unless there is a question .What do you say?.So I ask a question and so many Stalwarts here will tell good things and all , including me will learn.I will try to add what I know.That may be liked by you or not.So I put this question.I am also a STUDENT HERE SIR.
Most of the questions are asked , having some knowledge about the answer but simultaneously some doubts.There are scholars who helped my doubts cleared many times. So , suggest another way if you know.I will receive with THANKS .
Edit ;@ Venkatesh; Thank you for the input.You gave good info regarding temple and no mistakes.You gave importance to Suchi, Subhrata and what literally we read in Books .That is nice.But you can you think of Yourself a Reason why you personally want to go and have Dasha of the Deity ? Just please think.Thanks for your reply.
@Yamunaithuraivan;Friend gave short to the point answer.Thank you.Can you think of why you feel to go to temple, though not daily , at least once in a fortnight or month ? Would you get ban inner urge ? Please kindly try to add a few lines.Thank you for the participation.
@Nitai gaurav; Sir Thank you very much.You gave detailed information that really is needed for all.I learnt much.You said out of 64 types '' Out of these sixty-four items, five items -- namely worshiping the Deity, hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam, associating among the devotees, sankirtana, and living in Mathura -- are very important.'' thesae are important.But all are NOT POSSIBLE TO ALL.Bhakti is a common factor.
Sir I am JUST asking why there comes an urge in us to go to temple ? Why we go? Can you please add a few more personal lines.
A temple like most Organized Religions has a place of protection where one can feel safe to learn from what is known in there faith. The Egyptian may have the first temple to be actually functional without using any man made prayers and or rituals, it is all in the angles and compass direction of the temples built that make it functional. Have Peace within to create a new physical world.
Di's:

Among the 64 process of bhaji, the five are potent among which is the temple deity worship.
Out of these sixty-four items, five items -- namely worshiping the Deity, hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam, associating among the devotees, Santana,Nand living in Mathura -- are very important.
Do and Don'ts. . .
The Deities should not be bathed in water which has been touched by the nails or fingers. When a devotee is perspiring, he should not engage himself in worshiping the Deity. Similarly, there are many other prohibitions. For example, one should not cross or step over the flowers offered to the Deities, nor should one take a vow in the name of God. These are all different kinds of offenses in the matter of executing devotional service, and one should be careful to avoid them.

Nectar of Devotion,Chapter 6: How to Discharge Devotional Service
(1) One should rigidly give up the company of nondevotees. (2) One should not instruct a person who is not desirous of accepting devotional service. (3) One should not be very enthusiastic about constructing costly temples or monasteries. (4) One should not try to read too many books, nor should one develop the idea of earning his livelihood by lecturing on or professionally reciting Srimad-Bhagavatam or Bhagavad-gita. (5) One should not be neglectful in ordinary dealings. (6) One should not be under the spell of lamentation in loss or jubilation in gain. (7) One should not disrespect the demigods. (8) One should not give unnecessary trouble to any living entity. (9) One should carefully avoid the various offenses in chanting the holy name of the Lord or in worshiping the Deity in the temple. (10) One should be very intolerant toward the blasphemy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, or His devotees.
The three -- namely accepting the shelter of a bona fide spiritual master, taking initiation from him and serving him with respect and reverence -- are the most important.
The next important items are as follows: (1) One should decorate the body with tilaka, which is the sign of the Vaisnavas. (The idea is that as soon as a person sees these marks on the body of the Vaisnava, he will immediately remember Krsna. Lord Caitanya said that a Vaisnava is he who, when seen, reminds one of Krsna. Therefore, it is essential that a Vaisnava mark his body with tilaka to remind others of Krsna.) (2) In marking such tilaka, sometimes one may write Hare Krsna on the body. (3) One should accept flowers and garlands that have been offered to the Deity and the spiritual master and put them on one's body. (4) One should learn to dance before the Deity. (5) One should learn to bow down immediately upon seeing the Deity or the spiritual master. (6) As soon as one visits a temple of Lord Krsna, one must stand up. (7) When the Deity is being borne for a stroll in the street, a devotee should immediately follow the procession. (8) A devotee must visit a Visnu temple at least once or twice every day, morning and evening. (9) One must circumambulate the temple building at least three times. (10) One must worship the Deity in the temple according to the regulative principles. (Offering arati and prasada, decorating the Deity, etc. -- these things must be observed regularly.) (11) One must render personal service to the Deities. (12) One must sing. (13) One must perform sankirtana. (14) One must chant. (15) One must offer prayers. (16) One must recite notable prayers. (17) One must taste maha-prasada (food from the very plate offered before the Deities). (18) One must drink caranamrta (water from the bathing of the Deities, which is offered to guests). (19) One must smell the incense and flowers offered to the Deity. . .
. . . for the full list please see the link below. I have deleted them here due to shortage of space.
(43) One should chant the holy name of the Lord. (44) One should live in the jurisdiction of Mathura.
Out of these sixty-four items, five items -- namely worshiping the Deity, hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam, associating among the devotees, sankirtana, and living in Mathura -- are very important.
The sixty-four items of devotional service should include all of our activities of body, mind and speech. As stated in the beginning, the regulative principle of devotional service enjoins that all of our senses must be employed in the service of the Lord. Exactly how they can be thus employed is described in the above sixty-four items. Now, Srila Rupa Gosvami will give evidence from different scriptures supporting the authenticity of many of these points.
