few drops from crushed bud of peepul tree. This second
Sanskar is performed during the third or the fourth month of
pregnancy. The significance of this Sanskar is to invoke divine
and good qualities in the child. According to our ancient Shastras,
this ritual is performed in the desire for the first child to
be a male. The reason
for expecting male child is believed to be in the belief that it is
