Good to know
Before you visit
Places of worship are active and sacred, not just sights. A little care is expected and warmly received.
- Cover shoulders and knees. Bring a sarong or scarf; some sites lend or rent a wrap at the entrance.
- Take shoes and hats off before entering. Stone can be scorching by midday — a pair of socks saves your feet at big sites like Anuradhapura.
- Be quiet and unhurried, give way to worshippers, and skip public displays of affection.
- A small donation to the offering box is appreciated but never required.
At a mosque
- Dress modestly; women cover the head and, often, arms and legs. Scarves are sometimes provided.
- Avoid visiting during the five daily prayer times and the Friday midday prayer unless you are worshipping.
- Prayer halls may be men-only or have a separate women’s area; follow the signage.
Based on Sri Lanka Tourism visitor guidance and travel-advisory norms. Disrespecting an image of the Buddha is an offence under Sri Lankan law.
