There are many villages in India which have their own unique traditions and customs. There is one such village where people are banned from wearing shoes. You heard it right, there is a village in South India where people consider it a sin to wear shoes and slippers while going out of the house. Let us tell you that this village is located in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, whose name is Andaman. The people of this village believe that their village is protected by a goddess named Muthiyalamma. Therefore they do not wear shoes and slippers in respect of the Goddess.
Actually, the people of this village believe that their entire village is like a temple. That's why they don't wear shoes and slippers in the entire village. Apart from this, this tradition has been going on from generation to generation and the people of the village follow it.
Although everyone in the village follows this rule, it is not as if there are any exceptions. In villages, elderly or sick people wear slippers or shoes keeping their health in mind. Apart from this, even when the ground becomes hot due to sunlight, very few people wear slippers.
This rule applies only to villagers. There is no pressure on outsiders regarding this rule. However, when an outsider enters the village, he is advised to take off his shoes and slippers out of respect for the local people.
Andaman village is one of the unique places in India which has its own unique traditions. This tradition of not wearing shoes and slippers has become the identity of this village. However, this rule may not hold true for everyone.
