About Friendship Day

In India, Friendship Day is observed on the first Sunday of August, so the date changes slightly every year. In 2027 it falls on Sunday, 1 August. It is a day to thank the friends who have stood by you, from school and college to work and the neighbourhood.

The best-known custom is tying a friendship band on a friend's wrist, a tradition that took off in schools and colleges and is still popular with young people. Many friends also exchange cards, small gifts or handwritten notes, meet for a meal or a movie, and post old photos together on social media.

There is no religious side to the day, which is why people of every age and background celebrate it. For many, it is simply a reminder to call the friend they have been meaning to call for months.

Tips for sending your wishes

  • Send your wish on Sunday morning, because Friendship Day plans often begin by lunch and phones get ignored once the gang meets up.
  • If you are tying a friendship band, pick a short wish from the cards section and write it on a small note to go with it.
  • For friends you have lost touch with, choose a wish from the old and faraway friends section and follow it with a call.
