To say Namaste to the next person we join our hands and slightly bend and say the word.
2. Join families
This is the culture since our ancient kings. All the members of the family (father, mother, children, grandparents) live together under the same roof. Doesn’t matter how big the children’s growth but they have to live with their parents. It helps to overcome the stress and anxiety of daily life.

At night woman first, worship the moon and then her husband. After that husbands make the wives drink water with their hands. After this whole process, the fast is complete and women can eat food. This culture is known as Karwachawth. It comes once a year. Other than this Indian people also keep the fast for Goddesses and God. They believe that it kill their sins.
4. Arrange marriage
This is a very unique as well as pure culture at the same time. Parents arrange the marriage for their children. They choose their life partners. How strange it is? You have to spent your whole life with the person you never met. Earlier bride and groom directly meet at the marriage date. Now some westernization starts. Bride and groom start meeting each other before the wedding. However, this culture is diminishing day by day. People are becoming modern and they choose their life partners by themselves. India is also adapting the cultivation of love marriages day by day.
