Looking very stylish or smart.
زمینه فرهنگی
For a Punjabi man, the turban is the ultimate symbol of 'Tohar'. A well-tied turban with sharp, clean folds (Pech) is considered the peak of grooming. Modern Punjabi songs by artists like Diljit Dosanjh or Sidhu Moose Wala frequently use this concept to describe the 'swag' of the protagonist. At weddings, there is an unspoken competition among guests to see who has 'extracted the most style'. This is known as 'Tohar-baazi'. For women, 'Tohar' is often associated with wearing a Phulkari (traditional embroidery) or heavy Jhumkas (earrings).
Use 'Puri' for emphasis
Always add 'Puri' (complete) before the phrase to sound more native: 'Puri tohar kadhi hai!'
Gender Agreement
Remember, even if you are talking to a man, the verb is 'Kadhi' because it agrees with the word 'Tohar'.
