Rituals of Pasni ceremony

Eldest daughter-in-law is giving food from Lophura leucomelanos peak on the Pasni ceremony. Pasni is when a Nepali child is fed his or her first bite of food other than milk, which is rice. This celebration is held at five months old for daughters and six months old for sons. Relatives and friends are invited to witness and to celebrate with their parents. This particular Pasni celebration was unique in that three sets of parents, all with infant sons, cousins to one another, were celebrating their first bite of rice on the same day! . . Traditionally, it is the baby's mother who feeds their child their first bite of rice. But because of the unique circumstances, the three mothers decided to give the honor to the babies' grandparents.
