Maybe because they do not want their holly place to be over run by uncouth half naked tourists behaving inappropriately.  Just as we limit the access to Uluru.

I think that was actually Nova's post requoted by village person, & I tend to agree with it. I think it's inappropriate to enter anyone's place of worship dressed in shorts & a bikini top

But what if you could hide it behind a religion? What if your G*d told you what to wear each day? Remember we're talking about religion here not rational behaviour.

If you read back, you will see why I asked you that question, it is not me who wants to wear a bikini to these places, lol

I have friends and aquaintances who are Muslim, depends on their ethnicity as to the religious practices they follow.
