Book Pandit for Annaprashan Puja in Bangalore.
Annaprashan is a term derived from Sanskrit, meaning "grain initiation." It is widely recognized as the ceremony marking a newborn's first experience with solid food. This significant Hindu ritual signifies the commencement of solid food consumption for infants.
Following Annaprashan, various weaning foods are gradually introduced into the baby's diet. Although the specific customs associated with the ceremony may vary by region, Annaprashan symbolizes the infant's transition to solid nourishment. The ceremony is typically conducted when the baby is prepared to begin a solid diet, usually between six months and one year of age. For male infants, Annaprashan is traditionally held during even months, often in the sixth, eighth, or tenth month. In contrast, for female infants, the ceremony takes place during odd months, typically in the seventh, ninth, or eleventh month. Annaprashan is generally performed at home or in a temple setting.
