acknowledge what is said out of
politeness However, this does not
always mean they understand or
agree.
 Head: The head is considered to be the
holiest part of one's body. Touching
someone on the top of the head is
deemed to be insensitive and
offensive.
 Feet: Feet are thought to be the dirtiest
part of the body, and displaying the
soles of one’s feet or touching people
with one’s feet is considered rude.
 Eye Contact: In general, Indians prefer
to keep eye contact minimal or avert
their eyes from the opposite gender
rather than sustaining eye contact.
Indians prefer not to touch
people when it can be avoided,
but they may touch someone's
arm or hand when speaking so
long as they are the same
gender. Body contact between
the genders is kept minimal
throughout most of India.

17. Etiquettes
If unsure of the correct etiquette in certain circumstances, do not
hesitate to ask your Indian counterpart or at least observe the
people around you for guidance.
Feet are thought to be the ‘dirtiest’ part of the body. The soles of
one’s feet should never be pointed at another person, towards a
temple or towards a deity. Sit in a way that avoids this.
The top of the head is considered to be the most important part
of the human body. To touch someone on the top of their head is
considered rude and insensitive. This is especially the case with
babies, children, elderly, religious leaders or statues of deities.
People may not be strictly punctual when visiting someone’s
home. Arriving 15 to 30 minutes after the designated time is
appropriate.

It is common to be offered a cup of chai (spiced tea) when
visiting someone’s home or occasionally when visiting a shop.
