What is Annaprashana?
Annaprashana is the ceremony of a baby’s first solid food, one of the sixteen samskaras. It is traditionally done in the sixth or eighth month for boys and the fifth or seventh month for girls, at a muhurtham from the panchangam.
Annaprashana in Bhimavaram
Telugu families lay out a book, pen, gold and rice for the baby to pick after the first feeding of paramannam.
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
