Everything seems perfect with preparation and you just need more inside into the customs of India. Let me help you with the information on\u00a0 the five things you must be careful of while visiting India.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>1. Dress<\/strong><br \/>\nMajority of Indians dress conservatively so it is wise not to wear tight (\u0924\u0902\u0917 &#8211; Tang) or revealing clothing (\u092a\u0939\u0928\u093e\u0935\u093e &#8211; Pahnava). If you are paying visit to a religious place (\u0927\u093e\u0930\u094d\u092e\u093f\u0915 \u0938\u094d\u0925\u0932 &#8211; Dharmic Sthal), especially Islamic and Sikh monuments (\u0938\u094d\u092e\u093e\u0930\u0915 &#8211; Samarak), it is mandatory (\u0905\u0928\u093f\u0935\u093e\u0930\u094d\u092f &#8211; Anivaary) to cover your hairs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Meeting and Greeting<\/strong><br \/>\nMale usually shakes hands in the urban (\u0928\u0917\u0930\u0940\u092f &#8211; Nagariy) India, whereas it is common to greet (verb. \u0905\u092d\u093f\u0935\u093e\u0926\u0928 \u0915\u0930\u0928\u093e &#8211; abhivaadan karna) people with &#8216;Namaste&#8217; gesture (\u092d\u093e\u0935 &#8211; Bhaav) with your both hands. It is generally not acceptable for men to shake hands with a woman until and unless she offers the same. Hugging or kissing is not accepted by people irrespective of how long you may know them. The Western side-to-side hand wave for &#8220;hello&#8221; could be interpreted as a sign (\u0938\u0902\u0915\u0947\u0924 &#8211; Sanket) for &#8216;no&#8217; or &#8216;go away&#8217;, so be careful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Shoes and Feet<\/strong><br \/>\nMajority of Indians won&#8217;t allow shoes\/footwear (\u091c\u0942\u0924\u0947 &#8211; pl. Jute) in their homes and religious places. It is wise to leave your shoes\/footwear outside these places, in case of doubt (\u0938\u0902\u0926\u0947\u0939 &#8211; Sandeh) ask your host (\u0906\u0924\u093f\u0925\u0947\u092f &#8211; Aatithey) or other people where you can leave your shoes\/footwear.<\/p>\n<p>Feet are considered unclean. Pointing footwear at people is considered an insult (\u0905\u092a\u092e\u093e\u0928 &#8211; Apmaan). It is considered disrespectful (\u0905\u0928\u0941\u091a\u093f\u0924 &#8211; Anuchit), if your feet touches books, begs containing books or other things considered to give knowledge (\u091c\u094d\u091e\u093e\u0928 &#8211; Gyan) or holy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Smoking and drinking in Public<\/strong><br \/>\nIndian society (\u0938\u092e\u093e\u091c &#8211; Samaaj) considers the consumption (\u0938\u0947\u0935\u0928 &#8211; Sevan) of addiction such as drinking, smoking (\u0927\u0942\u092e\u094d\u0930\u092a\u093e\u0928 &#8211; Dhumrpan) etc a bad habit. Therefore, it is wise not to drink or smoke in public places respecting the sentiments (\u092d\u093e\u0935\u0928\u093e\u0913\u0902 &#8211; Bhavanaaon) of people. The government of India has also prohibited (\u0928\u093f\u0937\u093f\u0926\u094d\u0927 &#8211; Nishidhh) smoking and drinking in public places, which is punished (\u0926\u0923\u094d\u0921\u093f\u0924 &#8211; Dandit) with a heavy fine in all major cities across India.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.
