બેઠક Bethak

સાસરાનું માન સાળીએ, જમણનું માન થાળીએ; ગાવાનું માન તાળીએ, ને મ્હોડાનું માન વાણીએ.

sāsarānuṁ māna sāḷīē, jamaṇanuṁ māna thāḷīē; gāvānuṁ māna tāḷīē, nē mhōḍānuṁ māna vāṇīē.

Literally
The honor of the in-laws' house lies with the sister-in-law, the honor of a feast lies with the plate, the honor of singing lies with clapping, and the honor of the mouth lies with speech.
What it means
Every place or relationship gains its beauty and grace from a specific essential element.
