IT for Change(http://itforchange.net/), a non-profit organisation based 
in Bangalore uses frontaccounting.

You can install Indian chart of accounts in frontaccounting to set home 
currency as INR. IT for Change has been using frontaccounting from past 
one year. Also, you can find few Indian users in fronaccounting forums( 
http://frontaccounting.com/punbb/).

You can also consider trying GnuKhata( http://www.gnukhata.org/), based 
on your needs.

> Also would be happy to know of any actual use guides and manuals.
User Manual is available for 
GnuKhata(http://www.gnukhata.org/wiki/User%20Manual) and fawiki( 
http://frontaccounting.com/fawiki/) would help you with frontaccounting.:)
