Mindful meoweler tips

Respect Local Customs

Follow the local customs by not entering temples with shoes on your paws, as it is considered disrespectful to the divine.

Jagannath Temple Restrictions

Jagannath Temple is only accessible to Hindu cats, so be mindful and avoid trying to enter as a non-Hindu visitor.

Beware of Touts and Guides

Be cautious of overly friendly cats offering their guiding services, as they might be touts trying to take advantage of unsuspecting tourists.

Stay Hydrated

Keep yourself hydrated in the warm weather by frequently drinking water, especially during walks and temple visits.
