God Bharai
God Bharai is an interesting north Indian Hindu ceremony which is also performed in other parts of the country. In Bengal it is known as Shaad, in Kerala the ceremony is called Seemandham and in Tamil Nadu the Valakappu is the equivalent of the God Bharai. In Hindi God Bharai literally means to ‘fill the lap’ with abundance.
GOD BARAI is doing When a pregnant woman has completed seven months of gestation period, the baby is assumed to be viable and in a safe phase. So, the celebration is usually at the end of the seventh month or in the eighth month to welcome the little one to the family and literally fill the “mother-to-be’s” lap with gifts and fruits to bless her with the abundant joys of motherhood. Mr. Ravi Kashyap, PD SNBS and Ms. Manju Rani AWW fill the lap of mother to be, during the GOD BHARAI programme with sweets and fruits. 25 bowls have been distributed in them by SNBS during the programme. Biscuit and sweets distributed to the participants.
