We bow to Tirthankars (Arihantas) and Siddha* Bhagawäns. We also bow down to Ächäryas**, Upädhyäys**, and all Sädhus and Sädhvis***. By bowing, we show our respect to them and admire their effort and spiritual achievements. We also bow to our parents, grandparents, and our teachers because we want to show our respect for them and thank them for what they have done for us. In this picture, a man is bowing. When we bow we become more humble. So remember, respect others by bowing down.
