Wooden sandals and time
Getaizakaal starts in Japan (日本) and ends in India (भारत). Geta (下駄) are the Japanese wooden sandals raised on two teeth, which clack on the stones of old streets. Kāla (काल) is time in Sanskrit, and also death, the time that takes everything: the goddess Kali takes her name from it, and Hindi still says kal for both yesterday and tomorrow.
Wooden sandals and time: a name for a long walk.
