The tradition marks a life with samskaras — from garbhadhana before birth to the rites of learning and adulthood — a sequence that treats a child not as raw material to be processed but as a person to be welcomed, shaped, and sent onward.

Read alongside our Education & Parenting pieces and the Kutumb Katha research as it lands.
