In Hinduism, the greeting is “Namaste”. Hindus put their hands in the Namaste greeting and touch their forehead as a sign of respect. During the “Namaste” greeting, one should keep the palms of both hands together with the fingertips at chin level, nod and say “Namaste”. It means they bow to the essence of the divine, or the deity, in another person. Hindus do not usually shake hands or kiss when meeting other people. They greet each other by saying Namaste and folding hands together. Some would show respect by touching their feet if they are older.
