Traditionally the Indian way of welcoming anyone is to say Namasthe when you
meet anyone. It is equivalent to shaking hands. Shaking hands when meeting
is generally not an accepted custom in India. People in India do not
attribute any spiritual significance to it, as far as I have seen during the
several decades I spent in India.
