If the power supply is a transformer type, you may, if it is well designed. But, I have seen a 60Hz transformer that saturated on 50Hz.
The power out will be less that on 60Hz.

If it is a switch mode supply, there should be no problem at all. The supply runs on DC from rectified mains voltage. If the capacitors are just large enough for 60Hz, once again, the power out may be reduced a bit.

It depends on the design of the Power-Supply .......
If the Power-Input of the Power-Supply is a Transformer,
the Transformer may over-heat.
If the Power-Supply-Input goes directly to a Bridge-Rectifier,
it will probably be OK, but with reduced Power-Output to some unknown degree.

No-one has mentioned the voltage. India is 240V, and there aren’t many 60Hz countries with a 240V supply, most 60Hz countries are 100-120V
