<holidayfyi-glossary slug="namaste"></holidayfyi-glossary>A traditional Indian greeting performed by pressing the palms together at chest height and bowing slightly, accompanied by the spoken word 'Namaste,' meaning 'I bow to the divine in you.' It is used widely across South Asia during Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain festivals, as well as in yoga and spiritual gatherings, and is the standard respectful exchange during celebrations like Diwali, Holi, and Dussehra between family members and elders.
