We want to be respectful. Do we have to wear pure white clothes to go inside.

Accepted Answer

While wearing perfectly pure white is a deeply beautiful cultural tradition signifying spiritual purity for locals it is absolutely not legally mandatory for foreign tourists. However you must strictly heavily unconditionally ensure your shoulders and knees are completely fully covered before approaching the entrance.

The temple guards are incredibly strict. If you arrive wearing tank tops sleeveless shirts or short pants you will instantly be denied entry regardless of having a ticket. Simply pack a wide lightweight shawl to comfortably wrap around yourself before stepping onto the sacred temple grounds.
