Protection against the evil eye and mantras
Wearing caste marks and mutual salutations
Pilgrimages, presenting gifts, and greeting customs
Symbols like margosa leaves outside homes
Marriage, birth, and death rites
Everyday customs like floor decoration, food and purification practices
Other traditional beliefs involving omen-reading, palmistry, and plants/animals as sacred
