Are there any rules of etiquette at the Hindu Temple?

It is preferred that dresses and skirts be below the knee (but if this is not possible, you will not be turned away, don't worry). Shorts are not allowed. You will be asked to remove your shoes upon entry and will have cubbies to place your shoes.
