Very good discovery - We had not been able to visit a temple on our 2 previous trips, but there we had made an appointment (imperative, few slots available) and we enjoyed the visit. The guide (practicing) introduced us to some of this type of worship that we did not know, while explaining why many temples are on the island, not to mention those that are still being built. Very nice guide. For the outfit during the visit , imperative legs and covered arms whether for men and women to have a minimum of respect for the place.
