Significado
An extraordinary or surprising event.
Contexto cultural
The Varkari saints are famous for 'Chamatkars'. Saint Dnyaneshwar is said to have made a wall fly to meet another yogi. This makes the word very familiar to every Marathi household. Many Marathi films use 'Chamatkar' in their titles to denote fantasy or divine intervention. It's a popular genre where a common man gets help from a deity. In Maharashtra, cricket is a religion. A 'Chamatkar' is what fans pray for when India needs 20 runs in the last over. In cities like Pune and Mumbai, 'Chamatkar' is used sarcastically to comment on the rare efficiency of government offices or public transport.
Sarcasm King
Use 'Kay chamatkar!' when your lazy sibling finally cleans their room. It's the most natural way to sound like a native.
Not for Magic
Never call a street magician's trick a 'Chamatkar' unless you want to sound like you believe in real sorcery.
