Marathi saying. 'Whore' here (obviously derogatorily) refers to the man's wife.

What means "wears his turban on one side"?

Found it in a 19th century book of (then) Marathi sayings. Wearing your turban on one side signifies higher status and wealth (while common folk wear it evenly). Probably a bit too obscure.
