The only good thing about ticketing so far in advance is that I've got plenty of time to plan!
In that case all you need to worry about is pollution for couple of days (you will get used to it after that) and heat since you are used to crowds. Money can get you lot of comforts specially in India. Enjoy your trip and if possible try to include couple of destinations outside of the beaten path.
