Yes, the dress code is strictly enforced at Polonnaruwa. Modest clothing is mandatory for the sacred shrines. Both men and women must ensure their shoulders and knees are completely covered.

Since it gets incredibly hot, wear light, breathable cotton clothing. Bringing a sarong or a lightweight scarf in your bag is a great idea to quickly wrap around your waist or shoulders when entering specific temple boundaries.
