معنی
Cleaning the floor.
زمینه فرهنگی
Sweeping is done early in the morning to welcome Goddess Lakshmi. The broom is never kept standing; it is always laid flat and hidden from direct view of guests. In villages, 'Ghar Jhadne' includes the 'Angan' (courtyard). The dust is swept into a corner and then collected in a 'Supali' (dustpan). In modern apartments, 'Ghar Jhadne' is often followed immediately by 'Ghar Pusne' (mopping) using a microfiber mop. There is a common belief that you should not sweep the house during the 'Sandhyakal' (twilight/evening) as it is the time for prayer.
The 'Ker' Connection
If you forget 'Jhadne', just say 'Ker kadhne'. Every Marathi speaker will understand you perfectly.
Night Sweeping
Avoid saying you are sweeping the house at night in front of elders; they might give you a lecture on bad luck!
