What you must know when visiting India with an Indian visa:

• Avoid interacting with the people of suspicious and unknown organizations or agencies
• Never, especially after sunset, go to unlit or dark areas alone, especially girls.
• Avoid giving 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 indulge in oily and fried food during your visit, as it may lead to digestive issues.
• Choose the season before visiting India for your convenience because some Indian places are very hot, cold and rainy.
• Always have your valid Indian visa in your pocket or purse to show it when asked.
• Don’t forget to keep 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, never kiss or hug your better half publicly or in family restaurants. And, wear modest clothes when visiting religious places, shrines, etc.
• Never forget to remove your shoes or sleepers before entering religious places.
• Stay in only widely-known and registered places with reliable, clean records and security systems.
