However, the strict rule in all Sri Lankan Buddhist temples is that you must never pose for a photo with your back turned towards a Buddha statue, as this is considered highly disrespectful.

Always look for specific signs near the inner sanctums. If a monk is actively conducting a private blessing or puja ceremony, it is polite to put your camera away out of respect.
