Greeting Etiquette

In Desuri, as in many parts of India, a respectful greeting is important. A common greeting involves the hands in a 'Namaste' gesture or 'Namaskar,' while saying 'Namaste' to show respect. It is considered polite to greet elders first.

Dress Modestly

Modesty in clothing reflects respect for local customs. While urban areas might see varied styles, opting for traditional attire such as saris for women and kurta-pyjamas for men is often appreciated, especially in village settings.

Respect for Traditions

India has a rich tapestry of traditions and festivals. Showing interest and respect for local customs, participating in community events, and inquiring about local traditions can foster goodwill and demonstrate cultural sensitivity.

Vegetarian

The majority of Rajasthani cuisine is vegetarian, making it easy for vegetarians to find options at most restaurants and eateries.

Vegan

While many local dishes contain dairy, options like lentil curries, vegetable stir-fries, and certain bread can be made vegan upon request.

Gluten-Free

Gluten-free options are limited, but dishes made with rice and lentils are generally safe. Ensure to ask about ingredients particularly in bread and pastries.
