Signification
Offering warm wishes for someone's success
Contexte culturel
In Marathi culture, acknowledging someone's success is a communal duty. If you don't offer 'Abhinandan' for a major event, it can be seen as a sign of 'matsar' (jealousy). Newspapers like 'Sakal' or 'Loksatta' often have a dedicated section for 'Abhinandan' where photos of successful students or professionals are published with this caption. Every formal speech (Bhashan) in Maharashtra usually begins or ends by congratulating the organizers or the awardees using this phrase. The phrase is so common that there are thousands of pre-made 'Hardik Abhinandan' images/stickers with flowers and lamps that people share in groups.
The 'Baddal' Rule
Always use the suffix '-baddal' (about/for) on the noun representing the achievement before saying Hardik Abhinandan.
Avoid for Birthdays
Unless it's a 50th or 75th birthday, stick to 'Shubhechha'. Using 'Abhinandan' for a 20th birthday sounds like you're congratulating them for just surviving another year!
