Maatri Divas kee shubhkaamyaaye(n)

This is one of the ways of wishing Happy Mother's Day. Here (n) denotes nasal sound of N.



Mother's Day is a day appointed for the honor and uplift of motherhood by the loving remembrance of each person of his mother through the performance of some act of kindness, visit, tribute, or letter. The founder of the day is Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, who designated the second Sunday in May, or for schools the second Friday, as the time, and a white carnation as the badge.

Mother's Day is a little over 100 years old. It started after the American Civil War in the early 1860s, when Julia Ward Howe launched a Mother's Day for Peace.

The first Mother's Day for peace was held in 1872.

In 1907, Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia had the idea of holding special church services in honor of mothers. In 1914 the President of the United States declared the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day
