It is the 6th day in the 6 th Month - The day come for us to feed our babies a first food.
What Annaprasana means?
The mother or grandmother will prepare a small bowl of payesh (boiled rice, milk & sugar) which is blessed in a brief puja. The child will generally be held in the mother's lap, and a senior male family member (grandfather or uncle) will feed it a small spoonful of the payesh, to general celebration. Other members of the family then take turns to give the child a taste.
The feeding ceremony is often followed with a game, in which the child is presented with a tray containing a number of objects.
These will include:
1.a bangle or jewel (symbolising wealth),
2.a book (symbolising learning),
3.a pen (symbolising career) and
4.a clay pot or container of earth/soil (symbolising property). The child's future direction and prospects in life are indicated by the object which it prefers to hold and play with.
