Solution
Yes, there are several rites related to food products in India. Most events have a gastronomic speciality associated with them. One such event is the 'annaprashan' ceremony, also known as "ushtavan" in Marathi. This event symbolizes the first feeding of solid food to a newborn child. A rice dish, typically sweet, is cooked and served to the youngster. It takes place when the child is six to twelve months old.
