Prathana was a young girl, who was about to embark on an exciting and important journey. Her family was now getting ready to perform the traditional Puberty Ceremony. The family gathered together in the morning and decorated the house with flowers and lights. Prathana was dressed in a beautiful red & sandal lehenga and her head was adorned with beautiful jewellery. The Puberty Ceremony began with the priest chanting mantras and offering prayers to the Gods. Her mother put a garland of flowers around her neck and hugged her. This was followed by various rituals and prayers. At the end of the ceremony, Prathana felt a sense of accomplishment and joy. Her parents and family showered her with gifts and blessings. The Puberty Ceremony marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life and she was excited to see what the future held in store for her.
