When a kid is prepared to switch from liquid to solid food, a ceremony called Annaprasan puja, also known as “Grain Initiation or Rice Feeding,” is done.

The child is typically given very little rice or sweet payasam to eat. The purpose of this pooja is to thank the Lord for blessing the parents with a healthy infant who is ready to consume solid food.

Perform the Annaprasan puja when you are ready to transition your infant from a liquid to a solid diet. You can carry it out at any time between six months and the child’s first birthday.

Boys typically undergo Annaprasan in the sixth or eighth month of life, within the first seven months. Girls typically have it done around the fifth or seventh month of pregnancy, which is an odd month.

Annaprashan Puja is a custom that commemorates the addition of solid food to a child’s diet. “Prashan” means “to devour,” while “Anna” alludes to food or rice. Parents often carry out this ritual six months into a baby’s life. It is a child’s first bite of solid food.

The purpose of this ceremony is to ask God to grant the infant healthy digestive abilities. All of the child’s friends and family gather on this auspicious occasion to wish the child health and longevity.

This rite is significant because it invokes the blessing of the child’s health and long life from all the Gods, with Agni serving as a witness. It aids in cleansing any pollutants the youngster has accumulated thus far.
