Three foreign nationals were arrested in Bali for dressing inappropriately in one of the resort island's most sacred temples, the immigration department said on Tuesday in a press release.
The head of Bali's Singaraja immigration office, Hendra Setiawan, said those arrested were three Russians: two women aged 35 and 29, and a man aged 37.
Immigration officials arrested them in the cultural hub of Ubud on Monday after locals reported them for dancing and posing for a photo in inappropriate clothing the previous day during a visit to Pengubengan Temple, a site in Bali's holiest Besakih Grand Temple complex.
The arrests follow a series of visa violations by foreign tourists, with some working and doing business illegally on the resort island.
