India is world famous for many unique traditional customs. These customs have been practiced continuously for many centuries and have important implications in people’s lives.

One of the unique traditional customs in India is Namaste, also known as Namaskar, Namaskaare. This is a traditional form of greeting for the Indian people. It is mentioned in the Hindu Vedic Sutras. Indians will perform the way to greet Namaste by holding hands together and placed in front of their chest. The meaning of this action means “Let our minds understand each other”. In addition, the word Namaste can also be interpreted as “na ma” (not mine). This shows a reduction of self in front of another person. In Hindu culture, the first haircut for a baby boy in the first three years from birth (also known as mundan sanskar) is extremely important. According to Hindu conception, the newborn hairs of a child contain the evils and calamities of a previous life. Therefore, shaving the child will help start a new life, not being attached to the previous life. During the mundan sanskar ceremony, a monk will be invited to perform the ritual. After the barber has finished shaving, the child’s head will be covered with turmeric and a piece of sandalwood. Indian weddings are celebrated with many traditional customs. Among these, an important tradition is that the bride’s family will give dowry gold jewelry. This custom is called Stree-dhan. Over time, some of the above traditions have changed. Dowry can be cash, land. Even the bride’s family also gives a large sum of money for school education for the groom. This action is intended to thank the groom’s house for taking care of their daughter.
