Things to Keep in Mind

Wear comfortable COOI Clothing. AS with all religious Sites in Sri Lanka everyone is expected to dress respectfully in modest light coloured clothing to cover up. For both women and men this means no bare shoulders and being covered to below the knees.
No hats or footwear are allowed inside temples, so flip flops (which you would have to leave at the entrance), and a pair of white socks would come in handy, so you do not have to walk barefoot on the hot ground.
Sunscreen and a hat or umbrella will always come in handy.
