Collectivism and Harmony. Indians generally place a high value
on harmony and unity with others, keeping a strong nexus with
their community and relatives. A unified and interdependent
community or family provides a support system that an individual
can rely on daily.
Modesty and Conservativeness
Indians tend to be quite conservative in most aspects of life,
particularly in rural areas. This is especially noticeable in people’s
behaviour and dress. Many will avoid speaking loudly or using
excessive hand gestures, and it is not uncommon for strangers,
friends and some family members of opposite genders to avoid
physical contact.
Adaptability and Light-Heartedness
The large population size of India has not led average Indians to
think of themselves as ‘one among many’ and certainly has not
diminished their aspirations. Instead, diversity is celebrated
alongside an inventive and entrepreneurial spirit.

Science Behind Temples
Most temples are located along magnetic wave lines of
the Earth, which help in maximising the available positive
energy. The copper plate (called Garbhagriha or
Moolasthan) buried under the main idol absorbs and
resonates this energy to its surroundings. Going to the
temple often helps in having a positive mind and
garnering positive energies, which in turn lead to
healthier functioning It is also a practice to take off
footwear before entering places of worship because they
would bring in the dirt to an otherwise cleansed and
sanctified environment.
