意思
Cleaning the floor with a broom.
文化背景
The 'Kersuni' (traditional broom) is worshipped during 'Dhantrayodashi' (part of Diwali). It is seen as a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi who removes poverty (dirt) from the house. Sweeping the 'angan' (front yard) and drawing a 'Rangoli' is a mandatory morning task for many women, symbolizing a fresh start to the day. It is considered very disrespectful to touch a broom with your feet. If it happens, people usually perform a small gesture of apology. The phrase is now central to the 'Swachh Bharat' movement, where celebrities and commoners alike are seen 'झाडू मारणे' in public spaces to promote cleanliness.
Gender Matters
Remember 'Jhāḍū' is masculine. This is the biggest hurdle for Hindi speakers who are used to it being feminine.
Night Sweeping
Avoid mentioning sweeping at night in traditional Marathi homes; it might be seen as rude or unlucky.
