One of the most noted Indian greeting is called the Namaste or Namaskar. It is referred as the common salutation to welcome or greet somebody and is also used to bid goodbye or farewell. As I have observed, the Indians do the Namskar by placing both palms together and raising them below the face. So, what is it about the palms that make such gesture very solemn? You see, the hands symbolize the notion of the self meeting the self. The Indians also claim that both hands indicate the presence of one mind.
