Electricity
When traveling to India, you need a power adapter that converts to "Type D" plugs, as India uses a 230V power supply with 50Hz frequency. If coming from the US, you will need a plug adapter to use devices in India and make sure your electronics are dual-voltage to handle the higher voltage. Plug type is primarily Type D, which has three round pins arranged in a triangle.
