Overview
Annaprashan Sanskar for families in Shivala
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.
Shivala is a residential neighbourhood along the river between Assi and Kedar Ghat. Its lanes lead down to Shivala Ghat and the smaller ghats nearby, which are generally calmer than the busy central stretch of Kashi's riverfront.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Traditionally around the sixth month, though customs differ between families and communities. Many parents also check with their paediatrician before starting solid food.

Usually a small portion of kheer or soft cooked rice, prepared at home. Only a taste is given, so the baby is comfortable.
