Dear Bhagavatas:
Forwarded is a reply on the subject of doing Sashtanga namaskaram 
inside the temple.

May I add that such namaskaram should NOT be done 
between Bhagavaan and His Bhaagavatas 
(eg) Periya TiruvaDi (GaruDaazhwar Sannidhi) or Siriya TiruvaDi 
(AnjanEyar Sannidhi) installed facing the main deity 
in Sri VaishNava temples?.

I learned this during the Sathabishekam celebrations of 
Srimad Andavan of PouNDarikapuram Swami Ashramam. 
When I did DanDavat praNaamams before him and PerumaaL 
on the dais at the special pandal, he asked me to do so 
only at the farther end beyond the groups of Bhagavatas 
assembled in front of the dais chanting Vedas and Prabandams, 
saying that it would be a disrespect to the Bhagavatas 
to do such namaskarams in between. 

I would suggest temple authorities to put up bill boards 
to this effect for the guidance of SEvaartis.

Dear sir,

Namaste to all. Saashtanga namaskara inside the temple shall only to the deity 
and not to any individual.

All,

I would like to have a clarification.

Can any devotee in a Temple do namaskara (touching the feet) to a Priest? 
That too when the Priest is standing in front of the deity. If this is not 
correct, should the Priest advise the devotee accordingly?
