Jain food is ultra-pure vegetarian - Excludes root vegetables, onions, and garlic. Some restaurants specialize in this cuisine.
Yoga teacher training is popular - Rishikesh and Kerala offer intensive courses to get certified, much cheaper than Western countries.
Mosquito-borne disease risk changes - Malaria risk higher in Odisha and northeastern states; dengue spikes in Delhi's monsoon; Kerala has different disease patterns.
Government emporiums have fixed prices - These state-run handicraft shops don't bargain but offer fair, reliable prices and authentic goods.

Street photography is generally accepted - India's chaotic streets are photographic gold, but be respectful and unobtrusive.
Circular routes prevent backtracking - Plan loops like Delhi-Jaipur-Udaipur-Mumbai-Goa-Bangalore-Chennai-Kolkata-Varanasi-Delhi rather than out-and-back routes.
Volunteering requires proper visas - Tourist visas don't permit volunteer work legally. Some programs arrange proper documentation.
Film industry extras are sometimes needed - Bollywood and regional film industries occasionally hire foreign extras, especially in Mumbai.
Indian cities are surprisingly noisy (up to 114 decibels)
