The story of Mannat
Mannat is a specific religious practice across South Asia and shared across communities: at a shrine one makes a request and undertakes an obligation to be fulfilled if it is granted, often marked by tying a thread to a screen or a tree. The threads accumulate in their thousands at popular shrines. As a personal name Mannat is used in Punjabi families and appears in American and British records with them.
