معنی
To spoil someone with too much indulgence.
زمینه فرهنگی
In traditional Marathi families, the 'Aaji' (grandmother) is often the one accused of 'putting the grandkids on her head' while the parents try to be strict. Many Marathi films (like 'Sairat') show the 'spoiled son' of a local politician as a character who has been 'put on the head' by his powerful father. In Indian offices, maintaining a distance between a boss and a subordinate is common. Being too friendly is often warned against using this idiom. Older teachers in Maharashtra often complain that modern 'no-punishment' rules have 'put students on the head.'
Context is Key
Always use this when there is a clear 'spoiler' and a 'spoiled' person involved.
Don't use for yourself
Saying 'I am spoiled' as 'मी डोक्यावर चढलो आहे' sounds strange. It's usually a comment made by others.
