In Kolkata and surrounding areas, 'Shubhokamona' is often used in literary circles and formal invitations. It is a mark of a 'Bhadrolok' (sophisticated person). In Bangladesh, 'Shubhokamona' is universally used across all religious backgrounds. It is a very common way to end radio and TV broadcasts. Among Bengalis living abroad, 'Shubhokamona' is a way to maintain cultural identity in emails and community events, often preferred over the English 'Good luck'. Before a dance or music performance (Mancha-probesh), it is customary for the audience or gurus to offer 'Shubhokamona' to the artist.
