Durga Puja, occurring in October, brings elaborate pandals and cultural performances. Teej, celebrated by women in August or September, involves fasting and prayers for marital bliss.

What to pack
For October, November, and February, pack light cotton clothing for daytime and light woollens for evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring. Include an umbrella or raincoat, as unexpected showers are possible. Carry sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites; cover shoulders and knees.
Saving money
Flights and hotels are generally cheapest during the monsoon season (July-September), with potential savings of 15-20%. For budget accommodation, look for guesthouses and smaller hotels in the outskirts of the main city. Eating at local restaurants and street food stalls will significantly reduce food costs.
