Referring to the interior or inner part.
Cultural Background
Traditional Iranian houses are divided into 'Andaruni' (inside/private) and 'Biruni' (outside/public). The word 'dākhel' is often the gateway to the private family life. When standing at a door, Iranians will repeatedly say 'Befarmāid dākhel' (Please go inside first) as a sign of respect to let the other person enter first. In Iranian news, 'Dākhel-e keshvar' is a very common phrase used to distinguish domestic news from international (khārej-e keshvar) news.

Don't over-formalize
