Naman

Naman is a traditional Indian gesture of respect and greeting, involving the act of bowing slightly and joining the palms together in front of the chest, similar to a prayer position. It is often accompanied by the word "Naman" or "Namaste," which means "I bow to the divine in you." This gesture recognizes the divine or sacred presence in others, expressing humility and reverence. Commonly used in India and neighboring cultures, Naman is a respectful way to greet, thank, or show reverence to someone without physical contact.
