cermony

Posted by: daisyM on Mon Nov 3, 2008

In our tradition(i hail from India) its common practice to conduct a cermony for this occasion. I was 13, was in school. Came home from school and informed my mom. She called all our relatives(women) and also our neighbours ,prepared some sweets made with Til/flax seed for the occation. it was celebrated for 6 days. On 6th day a cermony was arranged (alomost like mini marriage) got gifts sweets and dresses etc. I felt bit embrassed first. But its a tradition in our culture.
