Births in the family-ceremonies connected



Seemandham is a ceremony that is celebrated when the lady in question is about seven months pregnant. Assembled relatives and friends wish her well on the occasion. In our family records, invitations to two such ceremonies, have been found and they are being reproduced here for your perusal.
I wonder whether hindu communities in the north of india also observe such ceremonies; probably they do. What about other communities/other religious denominations?
