Overview
Seemantham (Godh Bharai) for families in Chowk
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.
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॥
