FAQ

A’s for your Q’s

Clothing

  • Lehengas (maxi skirt and top) are much easier to wear than sarees if you are unaccustomed to wearing sarees. 

    Sarees are 4-9 yards of fabric (depending on the style) that are draped, pleated and pinned. A blouse is required to wear a saree.

    In addition to lehengas; salwars, anarkalis, and shararas are other easy to wear options.

  • Yes! Our wardrobe planner is just a guide, please feel free to wear what is most comfortable and accessible for you. 

  • Mmmm - at your own comfort. People in India still dress fairly modestly and cities are very populated. If you wear mini skirts, mini shorts, tight fitting clothes, sheer clothes, etc., you will likely stand out, and receive more attention.

  • Temples and heritage sites have stricter dress codes. Both men and women should wear clothes that cover their arms and knees. Avoid sheer and tight fitted clothes. Some sites may require women to cover their heads, carry a scarf in case. 

    Shoes need to be removed and left outside while visiting temples - we recommend wearing simple, inexpensive shoes. 

    Please be respectful, and follow photography and cellphone use as stipulated by the sites.

    Don’t forget to share your Photo ID, Jaipur arrival and departure details, and visa (if applicable) with the RSVP team. 

  • 1 or 2 days on top of the days allocated for the wedding events is a good amount of time to spend in Jaipur. 

  • We will organize transportation for all guests arriving to Jaipur for the wedding. Please visit the Getting Here page and share necessary details with our RSVP team.

  • English, Hindi, and Rajasthani are spoken in Jaipur. 

  • You could spend six months in India and still not see all of it. 

    If you are planning a short trip around the wedding (less than a week), we recommend doing the “Golden Triangle” which includes Delhi, and Agra (home of the Taj Mahal) in addition to Jaipur. 

    If you plan on staying longer the options are endless. We found this site to be a good guide. 

Health & Safety

  • No, drugs are not legal in India and that includes cannabis. Getting caught with drugs (inclusive of marijuana) is punishable with jail time and/or penalties. 

  • No, tap water cannot be used for drinking in India. This is also why we recommend avoiding street food. Please use sealed, bottled water.

    Make sure to review the travel tips page for more health & safety guidelines.

Cash Money

  • Yes, however some ATMs may not accept foreign credit cards. We recommend exchanging enough.

  • Perfect your poker face because bargaining is perfectly acceptable and expected at open markets and bazaars - have fun with it, but be fair. 

    Please do not bargain at stores with fixed product prices like grocery stores, department stores, etc.
