Sunrise and sunset reflections, waterbirds and local fishing boats make this a tranquil natural subject for landscape and bird photography.

Colorful produce, spice stalls and busy vendors offer street-photography opportunities that capture daily life and textures.

Architectural shots, pilgrims and ritual scenes are best photographed respectfully from the public areas; early mornings are less crowded.

A bustling daytime market selling produce, spices and snacks; ideal for sampling chaat, samosas and fresh sweets from stalls.

Short drive brings you to denser street food clusters where vendors serve kebabs, chaat, kulhad (clay-cup) chai and seasonal treats.

Wear conservative clothing in public and when visiting religious sites — cover shoulders and legs; women may prefer loose, modest attire.

Remove shoes before entering homes and temples, ask before taking photos inside sacred spaces, and follow any posted rules.

Greetings and polite behavior toward elders are important; using ‘Namaste’ with hands folded is a common respectful greeting.

Avoid overt public displays of affection as these can be frowned upon in conservative areas.

Tipping is appreciated but not always expected: 5–10% in restaurants if service is good, small amounts (₹20–₹50) for porters or helpful drivers, and rounding up for rickshaw drivers. For guided tours or personalized service, tip more generously.

Cash in Indian rupees is widely used, especially at street stalls and small shops. Mobile payments (UPI, Paytm) and cards are accepted at larger restaurants, hotels and stores; always carry small notes for local purchases.

Hot and humid from April to June, with daytime temperatures often high; carry water, sun protection and plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon.

June to September brings heavy rains and occasional local flooding; expect muddy roads and bring lightweight rain gear and waterproof footwear.

November to February is pleasantly cool and dry, with chilly mornings and evenings — ideal for sightseeing and outdoor photography; pack a warm layer.

Transitional months (March and October) have pleasant weather, clear skies and are great for exploring markets, festivals and outdoor walks.

Most residents follow Hinduism, reflected in numerous temples, festivals and cultural practices.

A significant Muslim minority contributes to the area’s cultural diversity, cuisine and local markets.

Hindi is the lingua franca, with regional languages and dialects such as Bhojpuri and Awadhi commonly spoken.

Vegetarians are well catered for: many restaurants and street stalls offer vegetarian thalis, dals, paneer dishes and vegetable snacks. Confirm ingredients in mixed dishes if strict.

Vegan options exist but are less common; ask for vegetable curries without ghee. Gluten-free travelers should avoid wheat-based breads and ask about deep-fried items to prevent cross-contamination.
