Signification
The act of paying or donating.
Contexte culturel
It is considered disrespectful to give money with the left hand. Always use the right hand or both hands. When giving money for a wedding or a religious event, people add a 1-rupee coin to make it an odd number (101, 501). In villages, 'Paise dene' might still involve a physical touch of the money to the forehead as a sign of respect for Lakshmi (Goddess of Wealth). In the diamond or textile markets, huge sums are often moved based on 'Jubaan' (word), but 'Paise dene' remains the final act of trust.
The '-la' Rule
Always remember to add '-ला' to the person you are giving money to. It's the most common mistake for beginners.
Left Hand Taboo
Never give money with your left hand in Maharashtra; it's considered very rude.
