Indian customs and habits

Etiquette and custom Indians are very polite when meeting friends, usually by crossing their hands to express their greetings. When crossing your hands, you should show respect, equality and care to your elders, be flat to your peers and be low to your younger generation. When welcoming the guests, they laid a wreath.

Express our heartfelt welcome. It is worth noting that Indians often shake their heads instead of nodding when expressing their agreement or approval with each other. Indian funerals and cremation: usually held by the holy river; Water burial, pushing the body into the water and letting it drift away; Celestial burial or wild burial, leaving the body in the wild or in the forest for vultures to peck or wild animals to eat, while Muslims bury it.

Society values boys over girls. Generally speaking, Muslim women rarely show up, let alone teach them to associate with strangers and shake hands with the opposite sex at will. Most women put auspicious moles in the middle of their foreheads and like to wear necklaces, brooches, earrings, nose rings, rings, anklets and other accessories.
