You can visit any temple of Shakti above. 

Before you enter temple,

1. You take off your shoes and socks.

You have to wash your legs and hands (Washing your legs and arms with water will ensure you are clean before entering the temple). It is also refreshing when you wash your legs and arms. 

You can purchase "Archana" ticket. Archana is performed by the priest. The priest will ask your name, your Gothra (Each person has a Gothra or a lineage name. This lineage can either come from the Rishis or a family. More about Gothra below), and your star and performs Puja or worship to the Deity on your behalf with holy sanskrit hyms)

You can also purchase "Abhishek" ticket. Abhishek is performed by the priest. The priest will ask your name, your Gothra (Each person has a Gothra or a lineage name. This lineage can either come from the Rishis or a family. More about Gothra below), and your star and performs Puja or worship to the Deity on your behalf with holy sanskrit hyms while pouring the ingredients of PANCHA AMRITA (Five ingredients consiting of Milk, Yogurt, Honey, Ghee, and Banana pulp) on the Deity.

GOTHRA:

is considered to be equivalent to lineage. It broadly refers to people who are descendants in an unbroken male line from a common male ancestor or patriline. Generally, the gotra forms an exogamous unit, with marriage within the same gotra being regarded as incest and prohibited by custom.^[1] The name of the gotra can be used as a surname, but it is different from a surname and is strictly maintained because of its importance in marriages among Hindus, especially among castes. Pāṇini defines gotra as apatyam pautraprabhrti gotram (IV. 1. 162), which means "the word gotra denotes the descendance (or descendants), apatya, of a couple consisting of a pautra, a son and a bharti, a mother, i.e. a daughter-in-law." (Based on Monier Williams Dictionary definitions.) When a person says "I am Vipparla-gotra", he means that he traces his descent to the ancient sage Vipparla by an unbroken male descent.
