The act of dressing up.
Contexte culturel
Wearing a 'Nauvari' (nine-yard saree) is a complex version of 'kapde ghalne' that signifies grace and history. It's often passed down through generations. In cities like Pune and Mumbai, 'Western' clothes are common for work, but 'ghalne' remains the verb regardless of the style of clothing. On Diwali morning, after the ritual bath (Abhyanga Snan), it is a tradition to 'ghalne' brand new clothes to signify a new beginning. The 'Pheta' (turban) is a symbol of pride. 'Pheta ghalne' is a specific skill and is often done by experts during weddings.
The 'Ghatle' Rule
Remember that in the past tense, 'ghatle' is used because 'kapde' is plural. Don't say 'ghatla'!
Shoes are different
While you can say 'boot ghalne,' some people prefer 'boot ghalne' for the action and 'payat ghalne' (putting in feet).
