In Hindu temples, both men and women prostrate by touching their forehead to the ground as a sign of respect and devotion. The difference lies in the posture - men typically prostrate with both hands stretched out in front, while women usually prostrate with hands folded together.

The main reason is to keep the temple premises clean. In a Hindu temple, as an act of devotion and respect, people kneel down with their hands and head touching the ground (known as Panchanga Namaskaram) or prostrate by lying down on the floor (known as Sashtanga Namaskaram). One would not like to do that on a dirty floor. Also taking of shoes is a normal custom in India in not only temples but also homes. This is out of respect and also appreciating the effort taken to keep the house clean.
