ANNAPRASHANA (FIRST FEEDING CEREMONY / CHAVALA)

Annaprashana, also known as Chavala or the First Feeding Ceremony, is a traditional Hindu ritual that celebrates a baby's first consumption of solid food, typically sweet rice (payasam or kheer). This important samskara is usually performed between the 6th and 8th month of the baby's life, depending on cultural customs. The ceremony is performed with prayers for the child's health, longevity, and strength. Family members gather to bless the baby, and offerings are made to deities seeking protection and prosperity for the child's future. Annaprashana signifies the beginning of a new stage in the child’s development, introducing them to the world of nourishment and taste.
