Wanting to learn about the Bania in Rajisthan

I am currently studying the the Bania culture in India. I am interested in learning about the food and the Jain religion as well as any traditional dress that might have been worn by the people in the past. I am also interested in learning about rituals and practices past or present that are meaningful to the Bania. I understand that there is a special ceremony involved in naming a child when they are babies. Is that correct?

Answer this question

Topics:

clothing, food, and culture of the bania

Laurie...Yes this is true, but I understand that it is kept private and for the family only until after the ceramony, when it's a big announcement to "introduce" the child to the public...extended family and friends first. The child is usually given a name that fits or describes something, or an action that will guide the child for success into the future...please remember...this is just my understanding,and I may be somewhere out in left field.
