Devotees visiting Temples in Kerala must remember that all the Hindu Temples in Kerala open very early and they also close early during the forenoon. Hence Devotees are advised to check with the Temple Timings before their visit. Similarly the Attire or Dress Code for the Males in most Temples are Dhoti or Veshti and their upper wear like Shirt, Baniyan etc have to be removed but they can wear a Shawl instead. Ladies are advised either to wear a Saree or Salwar Kameez along with a Shawl or Dhupatta.
