• Never give money or food to monks, clerics or beggars coming to you for it; you should ignore and stay from them, as they can be thieves or snatchers.
• Never eat oily and fried food during your visit, as it may lead to digestive issues.
• Pick the season before visiting India for your convenience because some Indian places are very hot, cold and rainy.
• Always keep your valid Indian visa in your pocket or purse to show it when asked.
• Always have some cash in your pocket every time when out because most small shopkeepers and rural-people accept only cash.
• Taking the strict cultural beliefs of Indians into account, don’t kiss or hug your better half publicly or in family restaurants. And, wear modest clothes when visiting religious places, shrines, etc.
• Don’t forget to put off your shoes or sleepers before entering religious places.
• Stay in only widely-known and registered places with trustworthy, clean records and security systems.
