意思
The act of seeing one's reflection.
文化背景
Mirrors are often placed near the entrance of a house to ward off 'Nazar' (the evil eye). It is believed that the evil gaze will see itself and turn back. The 'Mirror' is a recurring motif in the poems of Sant Tukaram, symbolizing the purity of the heart required to see God. In the 'Sun-mukh' ritual, the mother-in-law looks at the daughter-in-law's face in a mirror for the first time, symbolizing acceptance. In the age of selfies, 'आरसा बघणे' has been replaced by 'Front camera बघणे' in casual slang among Gen Z.
Use the Locative
While 'आरसा बघणे' is the phrase, saying 'आरशात बघणे' (looking IN the mirror) will make you sound more like a native speaker in physical contexts.
Gender Matters
Remember 'आरसा' is masculine. If you use it in the past tense, the verb must be 'बघितला'.

The Hypocrisy Card
If someone is judging you unfairly, a calm 'स्वतःचा आरसा बघ' is a very effective and culturally understood comeback.
Literature Link
If you read Marathi poetry, look for the word 'Adarsha'—it's the poetic ancestor of 'Arsa'.
