It's a way of preserving the wisdom and values of previous generations and passing them on to the next.


This tradition also fosters a sense of unity and belonging among Indians. Regardless of regional, linguistic, or religious differences, touching feet in India is a unifying practice that transcends divisions. It serves as a common thread that binds the diverse tapestry of Indian culture together.


Moreover, cultural traditions like this one provide a sense of comfort in an ever-changing world. They offer a sense of identity and belonging in a rapidly modernizing society. Indian feet touching ensures that their rich heritage remains an integral part of their lives.
