Buying goods or services.
Kultureller Hintergrund
During Diwali, 'Kharedi' is considered auspicious. People specifically buy gold (Sonya-chi kharedi) on the day of Dhanteras. Tulshibaug in Pune is the ultimate destination for 'Kharedi'. It's a place where bargaining is an art form. In villages, 'Athavadi Bazaar' (Weekly Market) is the primary time for 'Kharedi' for the whole week. Malls in Mumbai and Pune have changed 'Kharedi' from a necessity to a leisure activity, often called 'Window Shopping'.
The 'Karne' Rule
