المعنى
Asking people to stay apart.
خلفية ثقافية
During the 'Pandharpur Wari', millions of devotees (Warkaris) walk together. Volunteers use 'Gardi karu naka' to ensure the elderly can walk safely. In Mumbai, space is a luxury. 'Gardi karu naka' is often a desperate plea when a train is over-capacity. At the buffet line, elders often use this phrase to maintain decorum among hungry guests. The Maharashtra government used this phrase in every radio and TV ad to promote social distancing.
Use 'Krupaya'
Always add 'Krupaya' (Please) at the start if you want to sound like a polite traveler rather than an angry official.
Singular vs Plural
Never say 'Gardi karu naka' to your best friend if they are just standing too close; it sounds too formal. Use 'Nako' instead.
