- Carry light, breathable clothing suitable for Mumbai’s warm March weather. Temperatures typically range between 23°C and 33°C, and the afternoons can feel quite hot, so cotton or linen clothing works best.
- Bring a reusable water bottle, especially if the festival provides refillable water stations. Staying hydrated is important as the heat and humidity can be intense during the day.
- Pack basic health essentials, such as hand sanitiser, extra masks if required by venue guidelines, and a copy of any necessary health documentation.
- Sun protection is essential. Carry sunscreen (SPF 30+), sunglasses, and a hat, as the UV index can be high and the sun quite strong during outdoor events.
- Wear comfortable footwear, such as breathable sneakers or sandals, especially if the festival involves long hours of walking or standing.
