Gotam, a devout Hindu, was employed as a waiter by Daffodil & Chrome Restaurant, a popular location for banquets. On a day when a banquet was held for VIPs, he turned up for work with a religious symbol, applied using sandalwood paste, on his forehead. When confronted about this by the manager, Gotam claimed that the symbol was a sign of good luck in Hinduism. He had never informed the management of his religious beliefs before this moment. Gotam was asked to remove the religious symbol or work in the kitchen for the evening. Gotam refused and the manager at Daffodil & Chrome fired him.
