In marathi,what does the 'KAI.', before a person's name signifies?
Hi,I'm not a native marathi speaker but I have been wondering abtout this since quite some time.Don't know,if the same is seen elsewhere in Maharashtra or not,but in Pune,on roads/streets/lanes which are named after some person,there is a 'KAI'(not sure how to express that in English here),before the name of the person(Eg.'KAI. MAHATMA KARVE MARG').My guess is that it should be some kind of a salutation but I want to know exactly.Have tried to find out with many a locales but most won't know.So,seeking help here.

Hi Yash,
Have you found out the meaning by now? Its surprising that in pune no one could explain you the meaning.
Kai is shortform of Kailaswasi. U must be knowing MOUNTAIN KAILAS ( KAILAS PARVAT)
I think anyone dead is supposed to reach heaven and heaven may be Kailas parvat.
Hope you got the answer.
bye
