Barefoot

Waiter in a restaurant adjacent to the SiddhiVinayak temple in Preabhadevi, Mumbai, serves customers barefooted as a mark of respect to the Temple next door and the customer who is considered God. Atithidevo Bhava (Sanskrit) translated as A guest is akin to God, embodies the traditional Indian Hindu philosophy of treating guests with the reverence accorded to deities. A similar concept, Xenia, was present in the ancient Greeks.
