pretty much any type of clothing would be appropriate....i have friends, family, colleagues & clients visiting india all the time....some are here for business, some visiting family & some for sightseeing....most of the women like to buy indian clothes (mostly shalwar kameez) while they are here since its something new/different & wear them during their trip....others wear jeans, pants, shorts, t-shirts, skirts, dresses, etc....normal stuff....
at religious sites i would suggest they cover up as much as possible but the rest of the time they can wear what they want....the more skin you show, the more you are likely to get stared at so avoid mini skirts & tank tops....pretty much anything else is appropriate....
