Precautions to take

• Don’t talk to the people who are not in possession of any ID proof of being from a registered organization. 

• Avoid going to unlit or less crowded areas sounding unsafe. 

• Don’t give money to every monk or beggar coming to you; you’d better ignore them. 

• Never eat oily and fried food. 

• Don’t visit in summers if you can’t bear Indian summer. 

• Always keep your valid Indian visa with yourself to show it when an official asks you. 

• Keep some cash always available, as many small shopkeepers and rural-people don’t accept online payments.

• Don’t kiss or hug your better half publicly and wear modest clothes when visiting religious places.

• Take off shoes or sleepers before entering religious places.

• Stay in only reputed and registered places.
