Uluwatu Temple

Your shoulders and knees must be covered, and a sarong (a length of cloth) is tied around the waist over your clothes with a sash — this is required at every Balinese temple. The sarong and sash are usually handed out at the entrance or included in the tour, so you don't need to buy them separately. Light, breathable clothing works best: a short-sleeved top with long shorts or trousers. By local custom, women who are menstruating are asked not to enter the temple grounds.

Beyond the sarong and sash, conduct matters too. Don't stand higher than the priest or the offerings, don't block people praying or walk straight in front of them. Use no flash and keep quiet during ceremonies; don't touch sacred objects or cross barriers into closed areas. By Balinese tradition, women are asked not to enter a temple during menstruation. In short — be quiet and respectful, as you would in any active place of worship.
