Roman English
Thado tika lauchhe, swami kaha dhauchhe !
अर्थ
समाजमा धर्मकर्म र नैतिकताको आडम्बर देखाउने तर भित्रभित्रै अर्कै गलत काम वा चरित्रहीन व्यवहार गर्ने व्यक्ति, विशेष गरी महिलालाई लक्षित गरेर यो उखान प्रयोग गरिन्छ। बाहिरी देखावट र भित्री वास्तविकता फरक हुनु भन्ने यसको अर्थ हो।
उदाहरण
उनी हरेक बिहान मन्दिर जान्छिन्, निधारमा ठूलो रातो टिका लगाउँछिन्, तर उनको चालचलनबारे अनेक कुरा सुनिन्छ। साँच्चै, ठाडो टिका लाउछे, स्वामी कहाँ धाउछे !
Literal English Translation
She wears a prominent/upright tika, (yet) runs after her husband/man.
English Meaning
This proverb points out the hypocrisy of someone, often a woman, who presents themselves as very religious or morally upright (symbolized by the prominent 'tika' on the forehead) but whose actions contradict this pious appearance (implied by 'running after her husband/man', suggesting infidelity or inappropriate behavior). It highlights the discrepancy between outward pretense and inner reality.
English Proverb
A wolf in sheep's clothing.
