At a Hindu temple(or mandir) we first wash our hands and feet as to cleanse ourselves and then that we take off our footwear outside the temple..and then only do we enter the temple...we ring the bell so that our prayers may be heard and then fold our hand in front of the deity and pray...our prayers and worship methods are god-specific like we offer milk(pour it on the deity) to Lord Shiva, offer Oil(pour it on the deity) to Lord Shani, laddus (a type of sweet in the shape of a small ping pong ball) to Lord Ganesha.....After that the pundit (godman) puts tikka(a paste of herbs like sandalwood) on our forehead and gives us prasad (some eatables which are blessings of the lord)............

You need not give offerings to the lord as it is no compulsion u can just go fold your hands pray in front of the lord receive prasad from the pundit and leave with a peaceful soul.
