Overview
Annaprashan Sanskar for families in Arekere
Annaprashan Sanskar marks the moment a baby tastes solid food for the first time. One of the sixteen Hindu sanskars, it is a warm family occasion in which parents, grandparents and relatives gather to bless the child as they begin a new stage of growth.
Arekere stretches along Bannerghatta Road between Bilekahalli and Hulimavu, with IIM Bangalore just to the north and Arekere Gate as the main junction. Arekere Mico Layout, originally built for employees of the MICO (now Bosch) plant, gives the area its settled, residential feel.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
