FAQs

Question

When should we arrive if we must do our shopping after reaching India?

Answer

If you’re doing your outfit hunt after landing, we recommend arriving 2 days before the celebrations—this gives you plenty of time to browse, try things on, sip a chai, and enjoy the experience. If life gets busy and you can only make it 1 day before, that’s totally fine too! Indian stores are wonderfully efficient, and most ready-made outfits can be tailored within a couple of hours.

Question

What’s the weather like? What should we pack?

Answer

Expect warm, tropical weather, with temperatures ranging between 24°C to 32°C. Pack light breathable clothes, comfortable footwear, sunscreen, and - very important - your dancing shoes. For temples, a modest cover-up is useful.

Question

Are credit cards widely accepted?

Answer

Yes! Most shops accept Visa/Mastercard. But carrying a little cash (~20CHF / 2000 INR) is handy for autos, street markets, or coconut water emergencies.
