        Pooja's FAQ

        Annaprashan is a Hindu ritual that involves the introduction of solid food to a baby for the first time. It is considered a significant milestone in a child's life.

        Annaprashan is usually performed when the baby is around six months old. The exact timing may vary based on family traditions and the readiness of the baby to start consuming solid food.

        Families often choose an auspicious date for Annaprashan based on Hindu calendars and astrological considerations. The ceremony is typically conducted during specific months that are considered favorable.

        Certainly, you have the flexibility to alter the date and time of the pooja. Kindly get in touch with POOJAT customer care for coordination.


         

        The Annaprashan ceremony is usually conducted by a priest or family elder. The person conducting the ceremony performs rituals and guides the family through the process.

        After booking a pooja with a pandit or temple, you will receive the pandit's contact number in the booking section. Feel free to reach out to confirm details and discuss any specific requirements.

         

        The main rituals of Annaprashan include a puja or prayer ceremony, where the baby is blessed with prayers and mantras. The baby is then fed a symbolic first meal of solid food, usually rice pudding (kheer) or another grain-based food.

        The first solid food offered during Annaprashan is typically a mix of rice and milk, often in the form of rice pudding (kheer). The specific food items may vary based on regional customs and family preferences.

        The immediate family members, relatives, and close friends of the baby's parents usually participate in the Annaprashan ceremony. It is a joyous occasion, and the presence of loved ones adds to the celebration.
