Signification
No traffic on the way.
Contexte culturel
In these cities, 'rasta mokala' is almost a mythical state. People check Google Maps constantly to find that 'blue' line which signifies a clear road. During the annual pilgrimage (Wari), millions walk to Pandharpur. The phrase 'रस्ता मोकळा करणे' is used by volunteers to manage the massive crowds so the 'Palkhi' (palanquin) can pass. In action or romantic movies, this phrase is a classic trope used before a chase sequence or a secret meeting. After the harvest, the fields are 'mokale'. This is a time of joy as children have space to play and bullock carts can move easily.

Gender Agreement
