意思
Unlocking or swinging open a door
文化背景
Gurdwaras have four doors to show they are open to all four castes and all people from all directions. In villages, doors are often left open during the day as a sign of trust and community. The 'Ribbon Cutting' or 'Vag Pharai' ceremony involves the bride's sisters blocking the door. Opening the door is a common metaphor for spiritual awakening in Sufi and Sikh poetry.
Politeness
Always add 'ji' or 'kripa karke' when asking someone to open a door to sound polite.
Electronics
Never use 'kholhna' for turning on a computer or a light. It sounds very unnatural.
