  • It has been adopted from Western practices and gained popularity over time.

Traditions and Celebrations:

  • People often express their gratitude towards their mothers through gifts, cards, and flowers.
  • Special church services may be held to honor motherhood.
  • Families typically gather for a meal, which might be at home or at a restaurant, allowing mothers to take a break from cooking duties.
  • Children, including adults, may use this day as an opportunity to perform chores for their mothers and give them a day of rest.

  • Exchange of heartfelt messages between mothers and children is common.
  • Some people use social media platforms to publicly acknowledge and appreciate their mothers.
