Why do we revolve around a temple in clockwise direction?

Question

Temples in Hindu Religion

Answer 1

What does this have to do with physics?

Answer 2

Just a guess, but if one is in the northern hemisphere (as India is) the shadow cast by a vertical pole "revolves" clockwise as the day progresses. I don't know if this has any connection with the the direction one revolves around a temple, but it does have a tenuous connection with physics (but more with astronomy).

Answer 3

Electrons do no longer persist with a sequence direction. they might occupy any section in a given orbital. The seen representation of electrons revolving around a nucleus is an user-friendly thank you to visualize them, notwithstanding that's carefully incorrect. Clockwise is only much less complicated to print in books, i assume.

Answer 4

If you're going to revolve, you've got a 50% chance of going either way. Someone long ago picked clockwise arbitrarily, and tradition has upheld the choice.

Answer 5

we revolve in clockwise direction bcoz it is thought as a good deed
but anticlockwise is just supposed to be opposite

Answer 6

this is the direction the sun goes and therefore represents the cycle of life.

Answer 7

Because the angular momentum then will be perpendicular inward.we act like a magnetic particle( feeble)with our field lines entering towards the centre ,that is where god is.

Answer 9

so that every thing ahead inm life goes smooth and good.
