One is forbidden to enter the Deity room or offer anything to the Deity while wearing a shirt or coat. In the tantras it is said:

<div class="quote_verse">
:vastreṇāvṛta-dehas tu yo naraḥ praṇamed dharim</dd><dd>śvitrī bhavati mūḍhātmā sapta janmāni bhāvini
</div>

“Anyone who offers respects and obeisances to the Deity while wearing garments on the upper portion of his body is condemned to be a leper for seven births.”
