My "Goad Bharai"( Baby Shower) function was on 4th feb at Tandoor Restaurent in orange City.
Mummy & papa( My in Laws) did all the rituals of "Goad Bharai" ceremony.
First thing in the morning we did Pooja at home.After that we headed for Orange city . Bala-Nirmala, Hemant- Varsha and Mehul-Sejal came to the Restaurent little bit earlier to help us with the decoration and all.They put such a nice decoration. it was looking very beautifull.

We started the ceremony around 12 pm after everybody arrived. First Mummy & papa did the rituals Like-- Tilak,puting dry friuts, cocnut, yellow rice, cumcum and all in my Saree ( Aaanchal). After Mummy was done with the rituals she whispered something in my ear. What she said is the secret between her and me.
Then after all my friends fallowed the same ritual.
Most of our close friends like... Jeet- RIcha, Dave- Richa, Hemant-Varsha, Mehul-Sejal( with their daughter Tansi), Vinita- Prabhakar with their daughter Peehu, Babu, Bala-Nirmala with their daughter Shruti, Manju-Raji with their daughter Shallu, Neeraj-Seema, joined the function.

It was such a joyous occasion; It felt like we are celebrating this ceremony in India with our family members.

manish is organizing a nice baby shower for me on 4th feb . It's more kind of Indian "Goad Bharai" then American baby shower.
