====Temples==== [[File:South Indian Temple Tamil1.jpg|thumb|Women dressed in ''saris'', heading into a South Indian Hindu Temple]] Inside most Hindu temples, there is an expectation of modesty rather than sexual allurement. Men and women typically wear traditional dress during religious ceremonies and rituals in a temple, with women wearing ''saris'' or regional Indian dress.<ref>Nye, M. (1995). ''A Place for Our Gods: The Construction of an Edinburgh Hindu Temple Community'' (Vol. 8).
