According to research, more and more singles choose cultural celebrations as a place for their first face-to-face meetings.

The survey found that 43% of Gen Z in India prefer festivals and cultural events as their top choice for a first date. These lively meetings provide a fun, low-pressure environment that makes it easy to connect. Interestingly, around 30% of Gen Z also actively seek out potential partners during these events, making the festive season a hot spot for new relationships.
