Significado
Leaving a place permanently.
Contexto cultural
The 'Gasha' was a symbol of a person's presence in a social gathering. Rolling it up meant the person was officially withdrawing from that social space. Journalists frequently use this idiom to describe the 'exit' of political parties from a region after an election loss. In villages, traveling theater groups (Tamasha) roll up their mats and tents to move to the next village, which is the literal root of this phrase. It is often used with a sense of 'winding up' or 'liquidation' in the local business community.
