Part of: Happy Birthday in Every Language
Happy birthday in Hindi is जन्मदिन मुबारक, pronounced JUN-ma-din moo-BAH-rak. Add हो to make it जन्मदिन मुबारक हो, which is the fuller and more common written form. Most Indians also simply say "happy birthday" in English, so a Hindi greeting stands out as a deliberate, warmer choice.

The birthday song in Hindi
India sings the English tune almost universally, often in English. When Hindi words are used, the common version is:
बार बार दिन ये आए, बार बार दिल ये गाए
It comes from the 1968 film Farz and remains the best-known Hindi birthday song, played at parties across generations.
What is different about an Indian birthday
Many families visit a temple in the morning before any celebration, and the birthday person may touch the feet of elders to receive blessings.
Distributing sweets — mithai — to colleagues and neighbours is common, and often matters more than a cake.
Some families mark the Hindu calendar birthday as well as the Gregorian one, meaning two celebrations in a year.
