🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In many Pakistani homes, especially in summer, beds are set up on the 'Chhat' (roof) or 'Sehan' (courtyard) to enjoy the cool night air. This involves moving the 'Charpais' and then 'Bistar Lagana'. Similar to Pakistan, the 'Bistar' is often a versatile set of bedding that can be moved from room to room depending on where the guests are sleeping. In villages, 'Bistar Lagana' often involves a 'Daree' (thin rug) and a 'Razai' (heavy quilt) on a wooden cot. It's a sign of a welcoming home. In modern cities, even with Western-style beds, the phrase persists to describe the act of changing sheets or preparing the bed for the night.
