"A lifeguard in Sydney, a can-can dancer is Paris – the national airline's mascot is at home everywhere in the world."Probably India’s most recognisable mascot, the Air India Maharajah is usually depicted standing with his hands folded graciously in a namaste or bowed with his hand over his heart to welcome his guests.
