Helpfulness
Like all stops near the temples or monuments, there are open air markets. People will be pushy and try to pursueade you to stop and buy their goods.
Unique Suggestions: If you do not intend to buy, do not worry about being curteous, simply keep marching and walk through. You do not need to say anything or return their gestures.
But if you do wish to buy something, do not be pressured to buy the first of the kind that you see and remember to barter.
