How to Behave
Tips on cultural norms and respectful behavior
Use Namaste (hands pressed) or a polite hello; greet elders first and show deference to older people. Avoid public displays of affection and maintain a modest demeanour.
Dress modestly, especially in religious places — cover shoulders and knees; women often wear salwar kameez or kurta styles and men wear shirts and trousers or kurta-pajamas.
Remove shoes before entering temples or mosques, ask permission before taking photos of worshippers, and follow local rules around rituals and gender-specific areas.
If invited into a home, accept tea/snacks if offered and bring a small gift like sweets. Use your right hand for eating, handing items and gesturing — the left hand is considered unclean in many contexts.

Tipping in Husainpur
Ensure a smooth experience
Tipping is modest: round up a restaurant bill or leave 5–10% at nicer establishments, give INR 20–100 to helpful drivers or guides depending on service and trip length, and a small tip to hotel staff for room assistance. At small dhabas and shops tipping is not expected but appreciated for exceptional service.
Cash (Indian rupees) is king in most small towns. Mobile payments/UPI and digital wallets are increasingly common—carry a QR-scanner app and ask if the merchant accepts UPI/Paytm/Google Pay. Credit cards are accepted at larger hotels and shops in nearby towns but not reliable everywhere; always have cash for markets and transport.

November to February are cool to cold, especially mornings and nights; layers are advisable and winter cuisine (rich dals, saag) makes for comforting meals.
March and October are pleasant with moderate temperatures and colourful agricultural activity during planting or harvest — excellent for photography and outdoor walks.

Tips for restricted diets.
Vegetarian diets are easy to sustain — most eateries have multiple veg options (dal, sabzi, paneer dishes). Confirm use of ghee or butter if avoiding dairy-derived fats.

Wheat is common (rotis, parathas); explain allergies clearly and prefer rice-based or vegetable dishes. Carry allergy cards in Hindi if severe.
