One interesting story is about a young man in India who planned a proposal during a traditional festival. He decorated the entire courtyard of the girl's home with marigold flowers, which are very significant in Indian culture. He then invited all their family and friends secretly. When the girl came out, he got down on one knee and presented her with a beautiful ring. Everyone cheered and it was a very joyous occasion.
There was a story where a man saved up for months to buy a rare and precious diamond ring for his girlfriend. He then took her to the most beautiful temple in their city. Inside the temple, in a quiet corner, he told her how much she meant to him and proposed. The combination of the spiritual place and the precious ring made it a very romantic and meaningful proposal.
A man proposed to his girlfriend at a concert of her favorite band. He had coordinated with the band beforehand. During the concert, the lead singer called her up on stage.

There was a man who pretended to be a lost tourist. He asked his girlfriend for directions while holding a map. As she was trying to help, he dropped to one knee and pulled out the ring. He said that she was the only one who could guide him through life. It was really sweet and funny.
One common cultural element is the involvement of families. In many Indian proposal stories, the man first seeks the permission of the woman's family. Another element is the use of traditional items like sarees, jewelry, and sweets during the proposal. For example, when a man goes to propose, he might take these items as gifts for the woman and her family.
Sure. One Indian proposal story I know is about a young man who proposed to his beloved during a traditional festival. He arranged for a beautiful dance performance by local artists in the middle of the festival ground.
