Signification
A greeting for someone's birthday celebration.
Contexte culturel
In North India, it is very common to use 'Mubarak' due to the historical influence of Urdu and Persian. In cities, English is often mixed with Hindi, so 'Happy Birthday' is used interchangeably with the Hindi phrase. In more traditional families, the birthday might be celebrated according to the lunar calendar (Tithi), but the greeting remains the same.
Add 'Aapko'
Say 'Aapko janmadin mubarak ho' to be extra polite.
