| Do | Don’t | |----|-------| | Greet with Namaste (palms together) – safe and respectful. | Avoid public displays of affection (kissing/hugging). | | Use right hand for giving money, eating, or accepting gifts. | Don’t point feet at people, deities, or food. | | Remove shoes before entering a home or temple. | Don’t directly say "no" – use "I’ll try" or "Let’s see." | | Be prepared for personal questions (salary, marriage) – it's friendly, not rude. | Don’t touch a person’s head (even a child’s). |
