Signification
The act of opening a carry bag.
Contexte culturel
The 'Kāpaḍī Piśvī' (cloth bag) is a cultural icon. Opening it after a trip to the 'Mandai' (market) is a ritual where the family gathers to see the fresh produce. In India, security checks are common at malls and metros. 'Pishvi ughada' is a phrase you will hear constantly from security guards. Authors like P.L. Deshpande often used the act of opening a bag to describe the middle-class traveler's quirks and the treasures they carry. With plastic bans in Maharashtra, 'Pishvi' now almost always refers to reusable cloth or paper bags in public discourse.
Gender Matters
Always remember 'Pishvi' is feminine. This will help you get the past tense 'Ughadli' right every time.
Avoid 'Kholne'
While people will understand 'Pishvi kholne', it sounds like a non-native speaker or someone heavily influenced by Hindi. Stick to 'Ughadne'.

No, you can use 'Bag' (English loanword) or 'Thaili' (usually for plastic/large bags).
