Overview

Seemantham (Godh Bharai) for families in Arekere

Seemantham, known in the North as Godh Bharai and in Tamil homes as Valaikappu, is the ceremony held during pregnancy to bless the expectant mother and her baby. Its Vedic name is Simantonnayana Sanskar, one of the sixteen sanskars.

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॥
