Welcome to India Etiquette, your resource for etiquette, protocol and manners for visiting India.  This will provide information on customs and traditions that are important to know and consider when doing traveling for business or pleasure in India.

The Indian Society is a complicated mixture of old and new traditions and conflicts with this clash of cultures that have been strongly influenced by western society.  This should provide a quick introduction to key thoughts and concepts on etiquette and take no more than 30 minutes to completely review all sections.

Many Western Tourists and Business Visitors have been increasingly traveling to the continent in the past few years.   Most travelers stay in large cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Madras, Goa, Calcutta and should have access to most Western amenities.  While traveling to other locales, travelers may wish to visit other travel references for local customs and protocols to ensure a safe and productive trip.

A strong thanks to the friends and family in India and the UK and USA who have contributed thoughts to this site.
