Clothing |
|
Avoid
short skirts as they might be frowned upon by the
local residents including the Indian women.
|
|
It
is better to wear loose slacks than tight-fitting
jeans. Not only are they comfortable, but they also
attract no extra attention from onlookers.
|
|
Avoid
unnecessary exposure of the skin as it is not only
unaesthetic, but also invites unnecessary comments.
