सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

The 'Bāhira' (outside) of a house is where shoes are kept. Entering a home with shoes is considered disrespectful and 'unclean'. In many Hindu temples, non-Hindus or those in a state of 'impurity' are asked to stay 'Bāhira' (outside) the main sanctum. 'Bāhira' is a synonym for 'abroad'. When a family says their daughter is 'Bāhira', they are usually proud of her international success. Traditionally, 'Bāhira ko khānā' (outside food/street food) was looked down upon compared to home-cooked meals, though this is changing in cities.
