Wishing someone well for travel.
Contexte culturel
It is common to give 'Dahi-Sakar' (curd and sugar) to someone before they leave for a journey while saying this phrase. The phrase is often heard in automated announcements at major stations like CSMT Mumbai or Pune Junction. The 'Lal Pari' (Red Fairy) buses of Maharashtra almost always have this phrase painted on the rear bumper. During the annual pilgrimage to Pandharpur, this phrase takes on a spiritual significance as millions walk together.
Use with 'Tumcha'
Adding 'Tumcha' (formal) or 'Tujha' (informal) at the beginning makes the phrase sound more personal and complete.
Don't say it to arrivals
It sounds very strange to wish someone a happy journey after they have already arrived.
