Common Challenges & Solutions
1. Challenge: "Describe a Temple Ritual Without Saying 'Hindu' or 'IDOL'"
Solution: Focus on sensory details: "A sacred space with intricate carvings, where devotees light lamps and sing prayers at sunrise."
Pro Tip: Use metaphors (e.g., "It’s like a living museum where stories are told through art").
2. Challenge: "Explain Diwali Without Mentioning 'Lamps' or 'Goddess Lakshmi'"
Solution: Highlight family, lights, and traditions: "A 5-day festival of love, forgiveness, and celebration with fireworks, sweets, and colorful decorations."

Solution: Describe aesthetics and history: "A marble monument symbolizing love, built in the 17th century with intricate Persian designs."
Key: Focus on architecture, symbolism, and UNESCO status.
Strategic Tips
Know Your Taboos: Study India’s禁忌 (taboos) in advance. For example:
Avoid caste-related terms ("Chamar," "Bania").
Steer clear of sensitive topics ("Terrorism," "Caste Discrimination").
Use Local Analogies: Compare traditions to globally recognized events (e.g., "Holi is like a Indian version of Mardi Gras with colors").
Team Coordination: Assign roles (e.g., one player focuses on history, another on geography).
Sample Forbidden Words by Region

Common Taboos
North India
"Hindu," "Pandit," "Rajput," "Tandoor"
South India

Western India

Advanced Strategy
Bait and Switch: Use similar-sounding words if exact taboos are strict (e.g., "Hinduism" instead of "Hindu").
Leverage Jargon: Use technical terms to describe traditions (e.g., "a Vedic ritual involving a ceremonial fire (Agni)").
Bluffing: Confuse opponents with vague answers (e.g., "It’s a cultural practice rooted in ancient texts...").
