Mukhya Pranam

Mukhya Pranam is a traditional gesture of respectful greeting common in Indian culture, especially within spiritual and formal contexts. It involves folding the hands together in front of the chest, similar to a prayer position, and often slightly bowing the head. This act signifies reverence, humility, and acknowledgment of the individual's worth or spiritual significance. It is used to show respect to elders, teachers, or deities, fostering a sense of humility and connection. Mukhya Pranam embodies both social respect and spiritual humility, serving as a meaningful way to honor others without physical contact.
