Signification
Beginning an activity or process.
Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Shubh Aarambh' (Auspicious Start) is very strong. People often wait for a 'good time' (Muhurta) to start something significant. In Marathi schools, the academic year starts in June, and the 'first day' is celebrated as 'Shaala Praveshotsav' (School Entrance Festival). Lord Ganesha is invoked before 'सुरुवात करणे' of any task. This is why 'Shreeganesha' is a synonym for starting. Marathi history is full of 'beginnings' of social movements. The phrase is often used in textbooks to describe the start of the independence movement or social reforms.

No Machines!
Never use this for cars, fans, or computers. It sounds very strange to native speakers.
