Please note that some of the items are optional & depend upon the wish & the budget of the host. If you have any shortages please contact Panditji. Ideally Hom (Yagna) is also expected to be performed during Annaprashan Sanskar. It adds another 2 hours of vidhi. If you are interested in performing Hom also please let me know. List for material required for hom can be found in item # 1 of Samagri list for Jananshant. |
