Annaprashan Sanskar (First Rice Feeding) is the ritual where a baby consumes solid food for the first time. It is known as 'Ushtavan' in Maharashtra and 'Mukhe Bhaat' in Bengal.
Food is the source of life and strength. By offering the first morsel to demons/gods (symbolically) and then to the child while chanting mantras, we ensure the child gets proper nutrition, immunity, and strength from the food throughout their life.
Traditionally performed in the 6th month (for boys) or 5th/7th month (for girls).
Significance
It marks the transition from liquid diet (milk) to solids, symbolizing the child's growth. The ceremony invokes Agni and Annapurna Devi to bless the child's digestive fire.
Benefits:
- โPrayers for healthy digestion & immunity.
- โMilestone of physical growth.
- โPlayful ritual to predict child's future interests.
- โBlessings for strength and vitality.
- โFamily celebration of child's development.
