Father’s Day is a celebration honouring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, but it is also celebrated widely on other days. Father’s Day was created to complement Mother’s Day, a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood.
In Hindu culture, it is customary for sons and daughters to touch their father’s and mother’s feet (as well as grandparents) in order seek blessings for any occasion, during weddings and even returning home after a long journey as a form of greetings.
In India, a father is held in supreme veneration and next only to God.
