Mindful meoweler tips

Respect Cultural Practices

Cats visiting Rishra should be respectful of local traditions and customs, such as taking off shoes before entering a temple or not eating beef. It's also important to ask for permission before taking pictures of people.

Try Local Street Food

Rishra is famous for its street food, including jhal muri, rolls, and puchka. Cats should indulge in these delicious treats, but be cautious of potentially unhygienic food stalls.

Beware of Traffic

Rishra's streets can be overwhelming for cats with all the honking cars and motorbikes. Always cross the road carefully and look both ways before proceeding.
