What should I keep in mind when visiting religious places?

Respecting customs makes visits smoother:

• Dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees.
• Remove shoes before entering temples, gurdwaras, mosques and some churches.
• Cover your head in gurdwaras and some mosques.
• Check photography rules; many places don’t allow photos inside.
• Follow queue systems and security checks.
• Respect rituals and avoid loud conversations.
• Some temples have specific rules about who can enter certain areas.

Carry a scarf and wear easily removable footwear.
