Temple Etiquette

It's crucial to abide by the laws when visiting a temple or dzong; you must take your shoes off before entering. The best way to choose when to act is to imitate others. It's a good idea to leave your shoes wherever you see a pile of them. You can snap pictures on the grounds of temples but not inside of them when it comes to photography. You should make an effort to move around the temple in a clockwise orientation because it's regarded lucky and more fitting. To show respect for monks who may be meditating, try to speak gently and refrain from making any loud noises.

In temples, it is common to leave a offering of money in temples. If you do, a monk may then pour holy water into your hands, which you should sip-or at least appear to-before spreading over the top of your head from the forehead back. If you plan to visit temples around Asia, you should bear in mind that the etiquette is generally the same, so be mindful of this when you take any of Explorient's excursions.
