Annaprashan Pooja, also known as the Rice Ceremony or First Feeding Ceremony, is a special Hindu ritual that marks your baby’s first intake of solid food, usually rice or kheer. This ceremony is typically performed when the baby is between 6 to 12 months old and is considered an important milestone in your child’s growth and development. The word “Annaprashan” means “grain initiation”—it celebrates your baby’s transition from a milk-only diet to eating solid foods and introduces your child to the community and cultural traditions.
