Seemantham is a famous traditional south Indian way of celebrating the pregnancy and arrival of a baby. The ritual is generally performed in the 5th,7th, or 9th month of the pregnancy to pray for safe delivery and good health of both the baby and the mother during the pregnancy. This ritual is described in many Gryhasutra texts and is performed in other parts of India as well.
