What is Seemantham?
Seemantham (Simantonnayana) is the pregnancy ceremony in the 7th or 8th month that blesses the mother and the baby, with the parting of the hair, bangles and the blessings of married women — known as Godh Bharai and Valaikappu.
Seemantham in Machilipatnam
Telugu families do Seemantham with the bangle ceremony and the mother’s first visit to her parents’ home for the delivery.
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).
