What to bring?
Electrical Related
Although most hotels have a universal outlet, it may be a good idea to bring an adapter just in case. In India, it is a C plug adapter (2 round pins) and outlets are 240 Volts. Check any appliances you have to ensure they are compatible with 240 Volts.
Hair dryers will be provided in all of the rooms in Hyderabad and at the St Regis in Goa.

Are there any colors to avoid?
Black can be worn on January 30 for the American celebration & Sangeet but should NOT be worn on January 31st for the Haldi nor the Indian Wedding.
