What should I wear to a temple?

Cover your shoulders and knees, and wear something you can sit cross-legged in: a kurta set, a saree, a long skirt with a top, or for men a kurta or shirt with full-length trousers or a dhoti. Leave leather belts and bags behind where a temple asks for it, and choose shoes that are easy to leave at the entrance. Some temples, especially in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, enforce a dress code (a mundu or dhoti for men, a saree or salwar for women), so check before you go.
