Baby shower or Godh Bharai checklist
For Godh Bharai, Seemantham and baby showers, at home or in a hall.
Families often remember the venue, food and decoration and forget the one thing that keeps the day: someone to photograph it. Read why we made these lists.
Baby shower questions
What is needed for a Godh Bharai or Seemantham?
The ritual items the family elders or pandit advise, comfortable seating and a quiet room for the mother, light and healthy food, gifts and blessings for the guests, and a photographer for the ritual moments.
When should a baby shower be held?
Families usually hold it in the seventh or eighth month, but follow your family custom and your doctor’s advice, and keep the timing comfortable for the mother.
