معنی
Cleaning kitchenware after a meal.
زمینه فرهنگی
In many households, guests are strictly forbidden from washing dishes as it is seen as a failure of hospitality by the host. The concept of 'Jhoota' (ritually impure after touching saliva) means dishes must be washed thoroughly with water and soap to be considered clean again. The 'Maasi' (domestic helper) culture is prevalent, where a specific person is hired just for 'bartan-jharoo-pocha' (dishes, sweeping, mopping). Cleanliness is emphasized, and wasting water while washing dishes is discouraged in religious teachings.

Masculine Plural
