For your Delhi trip in October, you should prepare both light and airy clothes for daytime exploration and a little thicker clothes for cool mornings and nights. In the day time, it is suggested to wear cotton shirts, blouses, dresses, and light pants. In the early mornings and deep nights, thin sweaters, thin knit wears, a jacket, or a coat may be needed. It is also necessary to prepare a pair of comfortable shoes.
