Description

Annaprashan Ceremony

The word Annaprashan comes from Sanskrit, meaning “Grain Initiation” or “Rice Feeding.” It marks the introduction of solid food to a baby for the first time. Typically performed after the Namakarana (naming ceremony), it is considered highly auspicious as it signifies the baby’s readiness to consume solid foods. During the ceremony, the baby is fed a small quantity of rice or kheer.

The ritual begins with a puja, accompanied by the chanting of mantras for the baby’s health and happiness. This is followed by the symbolic feeding of Prasada, the first bite of solid food, which is traditionally kheer.

When to Perform Annaprashan (Rice Feeding Ceremony)?

The Annaprashan ceremony is generally performed in the 6th or 7th month of the baby’s life on a day that aligns with the child’s Janma Nakshatra (birth star).
