What should I wear when visiting the Temple of the Tooth?
We are visiting the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy. What is the dress code? Do we need to take off our shoes, and is there a place to leave them?

Cover shoulders and knees, and wear white or light colours if you can. Shoes come off before entering - there is a shoe counter near the entrance (small fee).
Also remove hats and never pose with your back to a Buddha statue for photos.
Bring socks - the ground gets very hot in the afternoon!
A sarong or scarf works great; you can also buy one cheaply outside the temple.
