Dress modestly to respect local customs. In many temples, this means covering your shoulders and knees. Some temples may provide shawls or sarongs if needed, but it's always a good idea to check beforehand.
Not necessarily, but it’s important to follow local etiquette. For example, remove shoes before entering, avoid pointing your feet toward altars, and speak quietly. Always be mindful of the temple's traditions.
Most temples welcome visitors, regardless of religion. However, some areas may be restricted to worshippers only. Always check local guidelines to ensure respectful behaviour.
