Contexte culturel
The 'inside' of a house is a clean zone. You must always remove your shoes before entering 'bhitra.' Walking 'bhitra' with shoes is considered very disrespectful. In Hindu temples, the 'bhitra' part (sanctum) is often restricted to priests or Hindus only. It is the most sacred part of the structure. In traditional families, the kitchen is 'bhitra' and 'chokho' (pure). Non-family members may not be allowed 'bhitra' the kitchen area to maintain ritual purity. Nepali people are very hospitable, but 'bhitri kura' (inner matters/secrets) are strictly kept within the family. Asking about 'bhitri kura' too early can be seen as intrusive.
The Shoe Rule
Whenever you hear 'bhitra' in a social invitation, look at your feet. It's almost certainly a cue to leave your shoes at the door.
Don't Overuse
Avoid using 'bhitra' for abstract 'in' like 'in the morning' (bihana) or 'in July' (Asar-ma). Use time-specific markers instead.
