Re: Bismillah Ceremonies
Maddy....I'm not Hyderabadi...but it was quite common in our family.....now bismillahs are rarely arranged but Ammens are still common.
As for having religious roots for this.....We don't arrange it as an 'absolute essential' If someone goes for it...good...if no, its ok tooPlus personally I believe its much better than celebrating valentines days, anniversaries n birthdays....these ceremonies don't have religious roots either but still ppl love to celebrate which is fine.Well, I'm going off topic now so I thin its time to stop.:)
