Re: puberty ceremony for tamil hindu girls…
I’m south Indian but Not from Tamilnadu
even now a days people do celebrate this types of functions, even you may wonder if i say they spend lakhs of ruppes on this type of functions
this functions is also done by converted christians, don’t know abt muslims because i never came across them in my town
the main aim of this type of functions is
in olden days girls get married in early ages around 16 to 18, people think that if they do this type of functions , the surrounding people knows that this girl is ready for marriage and they will tell about good matches if they come across
now a days this practice is not find in Urban areas
even you may wonder if i tell all the new baby functions( in Andhra Pradesh) we celebrate
During pregnancy we do two functions once in 5th month and in 9th month
when a new baby born we do a function on 11th day
2) Naming Ceremony
3) Function when a baby turns around
4) Annaprasanam ( Giving solid food for the first time )
5) Function when baby starts crawling
6) vidyabhyasam ( before the baby goes to school )
there are many other functions which i too don’t know
generally i never come to this religious forum because i believe i don’t know anything about any religion
