Garbhadhaan In Hindu Parampara, four Sanskars are performed before the birth of a child, eleven after birth, and one after the death of a person. Garbhadhan Sanskar is performed with an objective of the development and continuance of the progeny of the parents and with a view to get a noble and intelligent child. Prayer is performed to the pious Runanubandhi Atma and a wish for Saubhagyavati is also cherished. Offered Naamkaran The ritual of Naamkaran is performed on the 11th day from the birth of a baby.

Punsavan For the physical and mental development of the baby in the womb of the mother, this Sanskar is performed amidst chanting of the Vedic Mantras. Due to this Sanskar, a child is born healthy and intelligent. Not offered

Simantonayan This Sanskar is performed on completion of the 4th, 6th or 8th month from conceiving. As there has been physical and mental development of the baby in the womb of the mother, the behaviour, conduct and thinking of the mother are imbibed by the baby. As a baby emulates the mother in letter and spirit, it is in a way a ritual for the mother to remain alert in her achar-vichar-shravan. Not offered

Jatkarma After the birth of a baby, Jatkarma is performed so the baby is released from the doshas of birth-time and of remaining in the womb, and for the long life of the baby. After performing Suraksha Kavach of Dev-Devi of Kul Parampara, the concerned deities and Pitrus are satisfied through Pooja. Ghee and honey are touched to the lip of the baby and the nabhi-dand is cut. Not offered

Nishkramana Nishkraman means to go out. On the fourth month from birth, a child is taken out of home and granted Darshan of the Panchmahabhut — Pruthvi, Jal, Tej, Vayu and Aakash — and prayer is performed for the well-being and health of the child. Not offered

Annprashan On the seventh month from birth, meals are offered to the child as an auspicious sign and on that day poojan of Annapurna Devi is performed. Not offered

Chaul Between the age of one, three or five years from birth, hair of the child is removed through Mundan Sanskar so that the intellect of the child is developed and the insects of the pregnancy time are destroyed. Not offered

Vidyarambh Through this Sanskar, a child is initiated towards appropriate formal education and at that time poojan of Maa Sharda Devi is performed. Not offered
