Eat
If you get a chance to attend a ceremony, attend it because there you will get a chance to taste local delicacies It would be better if you attend a country side feast as they are more likely to serve local dishes like Mathe ke allo (potatoes cooked in buttermilk) Mix-veg etc.
If you don't get a chance to attend a feast then nothing has gone wrong, you can still pleasure your tongue with jalebis, samosas, pani puri, and aloo chat sold at various street vendors and sweet shops.
Drink
Buttermilk- A low fat drink made from the churned out milk with some salt and pepper. Sugarcane juice- juice of sugarcane with some lemon in it and some spices to pleasure your senses.
