Overview
Annaprashan Sanskar for families in Chowk
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.
Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
