सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Gujarat, 'Pani' is the first thing offered to any guest. It is considered a 'Punya' (merit-earning act) to provide water to the thirsty. Gujarat is famous for its ancient stepwells like Rani ki Vav. These were built to ensure the community had access to 'Chokkhu Pani' year-round. The concept of 'Chokkha-panu' (cleanliness) is central to Jainism and Vaishnavism, which are prominent in Gujarat. This applies to food and water. During the monsoon season in Gujarat, public health campaigns heavily use the phrase 'Chokkhu Pani' to prevent cholera and typhoid.
