Significado
Treating someone with honor
Contexto cultural
Touching the feet (Paya Padne) is the ultimate physical expression of 'Adar' towards elders and saints. The 'Warkari' poets emphasized that respecting every human is the same as respecting God. Using 'Aaho' or 'Sir/Madam' along with 'Adar' is expected, even if you are the boss. The 'Guru-Shishya' tradition dictates that a student never sits higher than the teacher as a sign of 'Adar'.
The 'Cha' Rule
Always remember: Person + Cha/Chi/Che + Adar Karane. It's the #1 mistake for foreigners.
Plural is Power
When talking about someone you respect, always use plural verbs (e.g., 'ते आदर करतात' instead of 'तो आदर करतो').
