Women entering the Mosque are asked to cover their heads and wear clothing which covers arms to wrists and legs to ankles, men are asked to cover their heads in the Jewish Synagogue and all are asked to cover their heads in the Gurdwara. Visitors should have no tobacco on their person when entering the Gurdwara.
