Royal Temple: Worship
February 4, 1999
Besides being a grand tourist attraction, this site is also an active place of worship. Some people combined both functions. The only restrictions on photography asked by the maintainers of the complex was not to take pictures within the temples (you also had to remove your shoes to go in-- thank God I had clean socks on with no holes!)....
