Women travelers who wish to visit the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy need to follow local dress requirements now that a “sarong service” at the temple has been terminated. The service fell victim to a newspaper photograph of a male temple employee assisting a “scantily-clad” female tourist with her sarong. Outrage followed and now women who are not properly covered will be turned away.

Elections for provincial councils will take place April 6 in Central, North Central, Sabaragamuwa, Uva and Western provinces. Elections here are usually marked by violence despite condemnation of violence by all political parties. Curfews are often imposed during elections. Travelers should avoid all political rallies, minimize contact with government installations and obey curfew restrictions.
