Bedeutung
Exterior to a space.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Bāhira' (outside) of a house is where shoes are kept. Entering a home with shoes is considered disrespectful and 'unclean'. In many Hindu temples, non-Hindus or those in a state of 'impurity' are asked to stay 'Bāhira' (outside) the main sanctum. 'Bāhira' is a synonym for 'abroad'. When a family says their daughter is 'Bāhira', they are usually proud of her international success. Traditionally, 'Bāhira ko khānā' (outside food/street food) was looked down upon compared to home-cooked meals, though this is changing in cities.
The 'Abroad' Shortcut
If you want to sound like a local, use 'Bāhira' instead of 'Videsh' when talking about people living in other countries.
Shoe Etiquette
Always look for shoes 'Bāhira' (outside) a door. If you see them, it's a sign you must remove yours too.

Remember that 'Bhitra' (inside) is private/sacred, while 'Bāhira' (outside) is public/social.
