Signification
Used to praise someone for an achievement.
Contexte culturel
Congratulating someone often involves giving them a 'Pedha' (sweet). If you don't offer sweets after a big success, people will jokingly remind you. In offices, 'Hardik Abhinandan' is often written on whiteboards or sent via formal emails to acknowledge employee of the month or sales targets. You will see massive hoardings (banners) in cities like Pune or Mumbai with the face of a politician and 'Hardik Abhinandan' written in bold letters after an election win. Marathi speakers use 'Abhinandan' stickers and GIFs extensively. It is considered rude not to reply with at least a short 'Abhinandan' when good news is shared in a group.
The 'Sweets' Rule
Always be prepared to be asked for sweets (Pedhe) after you are congratulated!
Double it for warmth
Saying 'Khup Khup Abhinandan' makes you sound much more like a native speaker who is genuinely happy.
