Annaprasan Function

In Vishnu Priya Banquets the first-times a baby will experience, tasting the first bite of solid food is probably one of the most exciting milestones to witness as a parent.

To celebrate this transition from liquid (breast milk or formula) to solids, some communities perform the annaprasan ceremony, or the baby’s first solid feeding ceremony. Since annaprasan signifies a marked change in a child’s life, it calls to be celebrated amongst family and elders.

The rituals of this ceremony may be known and performed differently across the regions or communities of the country. The annaprasan is especially popular in the states of West Bengal, where it is celebrated with great pomp.
