Department stores and shopping malls are open every day (except Sundays) in major cities such as Delhi and Calcutta. While many sell similar products to Europe, some shops sell handicrafts: clothes, shoes, decorative objects, etc. Markets and bazaars are the best place to haggle prices and get the best deals. Purchase handicrafts from Rajasthan such as silver jewellery, pottery and leather goods.

Indian cuisine is as varied and diverse as the country's landscapes, offering an incredible culinary experience to those seeking new flavours. Tastes and odours vary from one region to another with a notable contrast between the north and the south. In northern India, traditional food includes meat such as lamb or chicken, but never pork. One of the local specialties is to macerate the meat in a mixture of yogurt and chilli before baking it. On the other hand, South Indian cuisine is mostly chicken, and vegetables garnished with curry. Biryani is a fiery but flavourful dish served across the country.
