For personal photography with a standard tripod, your regular entrance ticket is sufficient. However, you must not block the paths of pilgrims. The golden rule is NEVER take a photo posing with your back to the Buddha statues. The guards will force you to delete the photos. Also, do not use flash on the ancient statues.

If there is a carved moonstone or a statue pedestal, yes, you must remove shoes and hats.

Ritigala is so empty you will not bother anyone with a tripod anyway. Beautiful spot.

If you bring massive lighting rigs or commercial gear, you need a permit from the Cultural Fund.
