Before performing “Annaprashan Sanskar Ceremony”, a bath is given to baby, then he/she gets dressed in new clothes or in traditional outfit. Later, the puja starts and baby has his/her first bite in the form of prasad or food, followed by all the rituals.

Annaprashan begins with a puja , a havan for your baby’s health and happiness, followed by the symbolic feeding of the “prasad or the first bite of solid food”. It is an occasion for celebration, and family and friends are invited to attend.

The religious ceremony is often followed by a fun game where a number of symbolic objects are placed on a banana leaf or silver tray which your baby can then pick up. The objects include:

  • books symbolizing learning
  • jewels symbolizing wealth
  • a pen symbolizing wisdom
  • clay symbolizing property
  • food items symbolizing a love for food

Family and friends have a great time cheering the little one while he makes his choice. It is believed that the object your baby picks up from the tray represents his area of interest in future.
