"Some simple Rules when Visiting a Balinese Temple" Bali Local Custom Tip by Wild_Orchid

When visiting a Balinese temple, do observe a few rules:
1) Menstruating women are not allowed to enter the temple
2) When entering a temple, legs must be covered as a sign of respect and therefore you should wear a sarong or long trousers. Those without sarongs may usually “rent” one at the entrance.
3) At the Holy Spring Water Temple (Pura Tirta Empul), no nude bathing is allowed.
4) At the Holy Spring Water Temple, bathing using shampoo, soap and toothpaste is not permitted.
5) Washing of clothes is not allowed here.

The rules at major temples are usually written in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. When in doubt, allow your decorum and good sense to prevail! Do enjoy your visits to the temples.

Maybe some of our Indonesian VT friends can help to translate the other rules contained on this signboard. Thanks!
