Stores that sell stolen brand-name knock-offs
Found in: Nationwide
Est. Cost: N/A
In India, the retail industry is fiercely competitive. Businesspeople are not ashamed to exploit the fame of other companies for their own gain. There are knock-off brand stores all over the country, and few (if any) of them sell anything resembling the original. Just remember that no matter where you go in India, a sense of home is never far away. Google and WhatsApp have locations in every major city. They’re just a little different here than you’re used to.

Onam Festival
Found in: Kerala
Est. Cost: Free
Keralites celebrate the annual Onam Festival in the month of Chingam, at the commencement of the Malayalam year. The event commemorates King Mahabali’s return, but it also marks Vishnu’s appearance in the guise of the avatar Vamana. The 10-day festival is all about happiness and prosperity, and the Malayalis have beautiful methods of expressing it. In the celebratory spirit, people create beautiful ‘Pookkalam’ (flower carpets) and place them as welcome mats for the King’s spiritual arrival. The much-anticipated Snake Boat Races and the performance of the traditional Keralite dance, the Kaikottikali, are also popular Onam Festival festivities.
