This ceremony is done before the baby is born and normally done for protection of the baby and the whole Family. In most cases a fire ritual will be performed and sacred vedic hymns for their well being will be chanted. Travel cost and expenses (like fire wood, fruits etc.) are not included and have to be talked over personally. In general there is a donation given to the purohit and the value for the ceremony is balanced by this. Please see under Donation the guidelines.
