What's Gaunni Pujan? First ritual

Gomni/Gaunni/Gonni Pujan?

3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th month of Pregnancy!

Hello everyone,

We're back as promised!

Today is Sunday and here we're with our first PARAMPARA.

Before completion of trimester first Gaunni Puja has to be done.

In this puja, the Gaunni (generally sister in law of the mother) is served with 9 puris with halwa. The mother is also served with 9 puris & halwa.

The halwa and puri are cooked by using ATTA only. The mother-in-law or sister-in-law of the mother prepares food with 1.25 kg of atta.

On this day the mother-to-be is restricted from cooking food. This marks the beginning of functions and rituals of the Birth of Baby. The idea behind this is that Goddess will protect the baby and mother.

Vidhi for Puja:

1. Mother is dressed nicely.

2. Chowk is made by using atta.

3. The mother is asked to sit on the traditional legendary stool (pata).

4. The mother do worship and adoration of the chowk.

5. Here the Mother and the Gaunni are served with 9 puris and halwa respectively.

On this day everyone else in the family eats same food.

~This same ritual is repeated while 5th, 7th & 9th month.
