It was all smiles and fun at this Baby Shower

Baby Shower

is a special occasion as it marks the transformation of a woman to a benevolent character of a mother. Though inspired by the western countries, this trend has gained popularity in Indian culture too.

From traditional Godh -bharais to baby showers, we have come a long way.

Mota Family

recently hosted a baby shower for their beloved daughter in law Himanshi Mota. The ceremony was well planned and was organised in the

Gujarati Samaj

Hall. The venue was decorated with handmade colourful decoratives and caricatures of

mother to be

. All the ladies including Himanshi were dressed in ethnics with Bandhej print that graced the occasion. The relatives presented dance performances dedicated to the star of the day. “I have been preparing for this occasion for over a month now, I wanted it to be special for Himanshi as it is our first child. I made the invites, caricatures and other decoratives. We made sure that all the traditional Gujarati rituals are well taken care of with a fun quotient.”- Priyanshu Mota. The ceremony was a culmination of both traditional rituals and western styles. We bring you pictures.
