Common Greetings in Hindi Namaste (नमस्ते) Perhaps the most well-known Hindi greeting is Namaste. It is used universally in India and is often accompanied by a slight bow and hands pressed together in front of the chest. This gesture signifies respect and is appropriate for any social or formal occasion. इस प्रकार, "नमस्ते" न केवल एक विनम्र अभिवादन है, बल्कि यह आत्मिक जुड़ाव का प्रतीक है। योग और आयुर्वेद में "नमस्ते" का महत्व: In India, नमस्ते (namaste) and नमस्कार (namaskār) are non-religious greetings, while elsewhere they might be considered Hindu or Indic greetings.
