Annaprashan is a Sanskrit term, which literally means "grain initiation". It's commonly known as your baby's first feeding or first rice-eating ceremony and called choroonu in Kerala, mukhe bhaat in Bengal and bhaatkhulai in the Garhwal hills.

Regarded as one of the most important rituals, Annaprashana is a Sanskrit word which translates into 'food feeding', and since it is the first time that a child consumes food in solid form it is celebrated with a lot of joy by the whole family, relatives and friends.21-Apr-2017
