'NO ENTRY' & 'DO NOT ENTER' signs are placed both at the front & sides of the altar...incredible to imagine foreign tourists trying to clamber up - would they do so in places of worship in their own countries?

The floor is probably the only surface not dizzyingly covered by gold stencilled patterns...then again, the cat didn't lift up the carpet to check:
