Godh Bharai And Baby Shower Gifts Usually, when an Indian woman is seven or eight months pregnant, the female kith and kin assemble to celebrate the bliss and joy of being a mother and motherhood itself. The tradition of blessing the mother-to-be is known as Godh Bharai. With so many women gathered to wish the expectant mother and her yet to be born baby, the moment and the ambiance are always spirited and glorified one. Traditionally, men were not allowed to attend the ceremony. However, since these are the modern times, women allow immediate male family members to be present at the celebrations to wish the mother-to-be. Godh bharai gifts are given to the expectant mother for her to use and not for the baby. This is why traditional gifts include a balanced combination of fruits, jewelry and clothes.
