Pregnancy is greatly celebrated in India, and the huge party that is held before the baby\u2019s arrival involves several regionally specific Indian customs and ceremonies. Godh Bharai, often known as the Baby Shower Ceremony, is the name of this kind of gathering.<\/p>\n
It is also known as Seemantham, Valaikappu, Swad, and Dohale Jevan in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, respectively. Customs and traditions around pregnancy have been around for a while and play a big role in our history and culture.<\/p>\n
A special gathering called a godh bharai is held for the expectant mother\u2019s friends and family. A group of women gathers to bless the expectant mother and the child while enjoying some delectable delicacies. Only women are allowed to participate in the godh bharai ceremony. It is often held around the seventh month of pregnancy or the third trimester.<\/p>\n
The meaning of the godh bharai rites is the same regardless of how they are performed in different states. On this important day, the expectant mother is traditionally decked with new clothing, jewelry, and flowers before being led inside through the front door and into the puja room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
