Social Customs

1. In the mosque have to go barefoot but you can enter with socks. For example Janis temples do not allow access to leather goods and even deny access to women with their period. In the Sufi shrines they have to cover their head with a hat or scarf. It's rude to take photos at induistas deities.

2. By drinking the lips should not touch other food or beverage. Sharing drink pours liquid instead of posing lips. Besides this custom is very healthy in India, where there are ongoing public health problems. The Indians eat with their fingers, a habit that can be difficult for a Westerner. They have the belief that the right hand is doing noble work and left the less graceful tasks. Therefore eaten with the right hand and left hand shoes are removed. In the bathroom the left hand is used and if a gift is given by right or both, but never with the left.

3. To call someone is done with the palm. Closing the palm inward and not with a single finger. Call someone with one finger is a lack of education. Always use the palm of your hand and bring the fingers into the palm (all) of your hand.
