Touching someone's feet is an Indian mark of respect. And while it is common to see that in our country, it definitely left the dean baffled. His expression says it all.

The dean was baffled and overwhelmed. His expression is so classic and unfathomable, that it clearly shows his gratitude towards the gesture.

The internet, of course, is going nuts over this and is swamped with both funny memes and reverential messages. Check these out:
