Bring something to cover your head
Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar, Punjab

The situation
Everyone covers their head inside the Golden Temple complex and leaves shoes at the free shoe counters. Scarves are usually available at the entrance, but having your own saves a scramble.
The lesson
Carry a scarf or bandana and wear shoes that are easy to take off.
