બેઠક Bethak

મોટી હજામત ને મેલે લુગડે, તે વગર ગુન્હે ચોર.

mōṭī hajāmata nē mēlē lugaḍē, tē vagara gunhē cōra.

Literally
A grand shave and dirty clothes make one a thief without a crime.
What it means
Looking untidy or suspicious causes people to judge and accuse someone without evidence of wrongdoing.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
