Annaprashan literally means feeding the baby rice for the first time. “Anna” means food, especially rice while “prashan” means to feed. Annaprashan’ is a social ritual among the Hindus, an occasion when the baby breaks its baby food pattern to welcome home-made food. It is as well as a social introduction of the new member of the family in the community. This is to be arranged for the Hindu child generally before teething and ritual is separate for both boys and girls.
