  1. Purification fountain. Wash hands here and enter the temple.

  2. Yes, I really like these kinds of rituals. I find that cleaning yourself before entering a temple makes you feel more calm and at peace. Something about washing yourself with water at a shrine..

  3. Yes, it is out of respect for the gods. But more so respect for oneself.
