Precautions to take

• Don’t talk to the people without any ID proof of being from a registered organization or agency.
• Avoid going to unlit or less crowded areas seeming unsafe.
• Don’t give money to monks or beggars without your wish; you’d better ignore them.
• Never eat oily and fried food, as it may lead to digestive issues.
• Don’t visit in summers if you can’t bear hot Indian summer.
• Always keep your valid Indian visa in your pocket or purse to show it when an official asks you.
• Keep some cash because small shopkeepers and rural-people don’t accept online payments.
• Never kiss or hug your better half publicly and wear modest clothes when visiting religious places.
• Put off shoes or sleepers before entering religious places.
• Stay in only reputed and registered places with a reliable record.
