What visitors should understand
Attendance can be appropriate while active documentation is not. Let local boundaries define your role.
What not to do
Avoid filming or photographing moments that feel private, sacred, or restricted.
Observation may be enough
Some celebrations are best approached quietly: arrive prepared, follow posted rules, and leave without turning the moment into content.
