خلفية ثقافية
In Kolkata, this is used in all formal settings. It is a sign of being 'Bhodrolok' (gentleman/cultured). Widely used in formal and professional contexts. It is standard in news broadcasts and official meetings. People might prefer 'Nomoshkar' or 'Salam' over time-specific greetings, but 'Shubho Sondhya' is understood. Bengali communities abroad use this to maintain cultural identity and show respect to elders.
Aspiration matters

A slight nod or a smile while saying it makes it much more effective.
