Central India runs hot and dry for much of the year, and that shapes the first twelve months with an animal more than anything in the breed standard does.
Move the routine in March
Shift the main walk to before seven while it is still optional. An animal that has already adjusted by April copes far better than one being forced to change in May.
Ground temperature, not air temperature
Test the surface with the back of your hand. If you would not kneel on it, do not walk an animal on it. Paw burns from afternoon tarmac are common here and entirely avoidable.
Water everywhere
Refreshed twice daily, available in every room the animal uses. Many animals under-drink when the bowl is beside the food; a separate water point usually fixes it.
Know the heatstroke signs
Heavy panting that does not settle within a few minutes of rest, bright red gums, unsteadiness or vomiting. These need a vet immediately - not observation, not a cold bath.
Indoors
A cool tiled corner out of direct sun, with airflow, is usually enough. Air conditioning is not required; shade and water are.
