Question

What should I know about Indian wedding customs?

Answer

Indian weddings are lively and colourful, filled with rituals, music, and dancing! Feel free to ask us or someone at the event if you’re curious about any particular ceremony. Just come ready to have fun and celebrate with us!

Question

How can I stay connected?

Answer

WiFi will be available at the wedding venue. For mobile data, we recommend getting an eSIM before you travel (you can check out options like Airalo or ByteSIM). Alternatively, you can pick up a local SIM at the airport, which usually costs around USD 10-15.

Question

How can I get around?

Answer

Uber and Ola are reliable options in Bengaluru (note that Ola may require an Indian phone number for setup). For a touch of local flavour, you can also try autorickshaws—either through these apps or by hailing one on the street (just be sure to ask the driver to use the meter before starting the ride)!

Question

How do I pay for things in Bengaluru?

Answer

Most malls and restaurants accept credit/debit cards (including Revolut, YouTrip & Wise), but it’s a good idea to carry cash for smaller shops and ride-hailing services. We suggest having around ₹2,000-₹3,000 (~USD 24-36) per person per day to cover local expenses.
