Birth is the beginning of one’s cycle on this planet and is an important event in Hinduism. But it is also important to purify an infant to get rid of germs, impurities, and evil. Choora Sanskar or Choora Karma Sanskar is the act of removing germs. That originated when the baby was born from the child’s head.
Traditional Methods of Doing Choora Sanskar
This ritual is conducted at temples or holy religious sites and is done in the auspicious months of Chaitra, Vaisakh, Jyestha, Asad, Magh, and Phalgun. The priests would decide an auspicious time to rid the child of all impurities.
Importance of Choora Sanskar
This method of removing impurities from the child’s head is symbolic of removing negative thoughts. It is done with hopes of strengthening the child’s head and increasing her ability to acquire knowledge and wisdom. This ritualistic rite is done to ensure not just positive mental health. But also to see that she has meaningful participation in life. Also to bless her with the divine atmosphere of the religious place.
