    Overview

    Seemantham (Godh Bharai) for families in Tirumalagiri

    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.

    Tirumalagiri lies in the Secunderabad Cantonment, near Alwal, Lothkunta and Bolarum. Defence establishments and quarters occupy much of the area, with civilian colonies of independent houses around them.

    माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

    कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

    Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.

    With this holy thread, the cause of my life, I tie the mangalya around your neck, O auspicious one. May you live for a hundred autumns.Traditional vivaha mantra
