The Grand Palace April 4, 2024 deb flewelling This is the grounds of the Grand Palace. It was so big, with many buildings. The holy shrine is the picture on the left. Note: A temple has monks that live there. A holy shrine does not. However, the same reverence is not displayed at both types of locations. At a temple and a shrine, everyone must take off their shoes. At a temple, women must have their knees and shoulder covered. Men do not require coverings. At a shrine, a woman only has to cover her knees.
