Cultural Customs: Who Shouldn't Have Their Feet Touched?

In India, touching the feet of elders is a way to show respect and get blessings.

But there are some people whose feet you shouldn't touch.

For example, don't touch anyone's feet inside a temple.

Also, don't touch a sleeping person's feet because they're in a different state.

People returning from a crematorium, or those in worship, are also in this category.

It's all based on old stories, beliefs, and how people thought about energy and respect.
