4. Warm Hospitality

India’s hospitality-focused culture is one of the most significant characteristics of India. People in India pay the highest regard to their guests and value hospitality. In fact, Indians live by the popular saying, "Atithi Devo Bhava", which means that the guest is God's own reflection. 

Namaste is the customary Indian greeting that is not only used to welcome guests but also acknowledge strangers, working both as a salutation and valediction. The gesture is said to express courtesy, honor, gratitude, and hospitality to the other person.
