Bedeutung
Capturing an image with a camera
Kultureller Hintergrund
In many Hindu temples, photography of the inner sanctum (the deity) is strictly prohibited. Always look for signs that say 'Photo khichna manahi chha'. Trekkers often ask locals for photos. It is polite to show the photo to the person after you take it. They will often say 'Ramro aayo!' (It came out well!). The 'TikTok' craze has made 'photo khichnu' a constant activity in public parks. You might see people doing elaborate poses. For government documents like the Citizenship card (Nagarikta) or Passport, you must go to a studio. They will say 'Siddha hernus' (Look straight).
Use 'Na'
Adding 'na' at the end (Khichidinu na) makes the request sound much softer and friendlier.
Temple Rules
Always check for 'No Photography' signs in religious sites to avoid fines or offending locals.
