MIND WHERE YOU STEP

The Goddess Saraswathi

Have you seen an Indian stepping on a piece of paper, a book or accidentally another person’s foot and then performing a brief pranam with one hand - a prayer gesture offered as an apology? As these objects are symbols of Goddess Saraswathi, stepping on them would amount to stepping on her. Another stepping superstition says it is auspicious to step into any new property or office with the right foot first.
