Answer 2

Atithi Devo Bhavah is a Sanskrit verse which simply means consider the guest as god. This value-laden statement is drawn from an ancient scripture Hindu religion which has always been the ethos of Indian culture. Recently, this value laden verse has found its place in the tag line of Ministry of Tourism to improve the treatment of the foreign tourists coming in the country due to the popularity India has gained in the recent times as a favorite tourist destination.

The reasons for India becoming one of the most sought destinations are not based on some myth or chances. It is chiefly because of the range of choices available to the visiting tourists in the country in terms of places, geographical locations, rich historical art and artifacts, culture and cuisines that attract more and more tourists in India. There are beautiful snow-capped mountains, deep valleys, flanking coastlines and beaches, doons and lakes, forts and monuments, forests and wildlife sanctuaries and many other places of high interests in the country. On the top of it, the chanting of mantras, the ancient practices of Yoga and spiritualism in the air raises the level of curiosity among the tourists to visit the spiritual land.

Atithi Devo Bhava is part of the verse mentioned in the Taittiriya Upanishad, Shikshavalli I.20 that reads in full as: matrudevo bhava; pitrudevo bhava; acharyadevo bhava; atithidevo bhava. The literal translation of the verse would bring out the sense that an ideal person should strive to "become a person who considers the Mother as God, the Father as God, the Teacher as God and the guest as God."

Tithi in Sanskrit or even in Hindi language means a (calendrical) date. A-tithi means who does not have any date. In olden times, there were no fast modes of communication as compared to today and thus if anyone wants to visit or meet his near and dear ones, there were no ways he could communicate his arrival. So he used to pay visit without any information and therefore in course of time guest used to be called athithi one who does not have any fixed time of arrival. Devo in Sanskrit means God-like and bhava means to assume/understand. Atithi Devo Bhava means to assume or understand a guest as God-like and so pay respect and homage in the similar way one would give to his God.
