Currency: The
units of Indian currency are the rupee and the paisa (100 paise
is equal to one rupee). Paper money comes in denominations of 1,
2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 rupees. Coins are in denominations
of 10, 25, and 50 paise, one rupee, two rupees, and five rupees.
Importing and exporting the currency is strictly against the rules.
Language: In Maharashtra, the official and most
common language is Marathi. However, both Hindi and English are
widely spoken
Photography: It is probably better to ask before
taking pictures of people -- while some may be thrilled, others
may find it offensive. Some tourist spots such as religious shrines
and restricted areas may prohibit photography.
