Signification
Putting on footwear.
Contexte culturel
Shoes are never worn inside the house. You 'put on shoes' only at the threshold or outside the door. At temples, there is a dedicated 'joda-ghar' (shoe room) where you leave your shoes. You only 'put them back on' after exiting the sacred premises. The 'Jode Lapavne' ritual makes the act of putting on shoes a humorous and expensive affair for the groom. In many traditional Marathi small businesses (pedhi), owners and staff work barefoot. Putting on shoes happens only when they leave the shop.
