Annaprashan, mukhe bhaat, rice ceremony — three names for the same morning, and the one family photograph that gets framed and kept. Our annaprashan decoration in Kolkata is built around that photograph: a clean backdrop, a properly decorated chair at the right height, and the thali arrangement in frame rather than off to the side.
What we set up
A decorated high chair or a low decorated seat for the baby, depending on age and what the family prefers. A floral backdrop with the child's name, usually in cut lettering across a flower panel. A decorated table for the annaprashan thali and the ritual items. A separate photo corner for guests. Doorway torans and entrance flower work. Ceiling or wall hanging work where the room allows it.
The rice ceremony is the same ceremony
If your family says rice ceremony rather than annaprashan, this is the page you want — same setup, same booking, same price. Bengali families often use mukhe bhaat; the ritual and the decoration are identical.
Traditional or contemporary
Traditional setups lead with marigold, red and gold, and a brass thali arrangement. Contemporary ones use pastels, a name-lettering backdrop and a themed corner. Both work; the traditional version tends to photograph better with older relatives in frame, which is worth knowing before you choose. Setups start from ₹5,000 at home and ₹20,000 in a community hall.
From your call to the finished setup
Name and date
The child's name for the backdrop lettering, plus the date and address.
Theme choice
Traditional marigold and gold, or a pastel contemporary theme. We show both.
Morning build
Annaprashan timings are usually early. We set up before the muhurat, not during it.
Clearing
Chair, frames and backdrop collected after the function.

Yes — annaprashan, mukhe bhaat and rice ceremony are three names for the same ritual, and this is the same booking whichever you call it. There is no separate service and no different price. Ask for what is described on this page.
Yes, and it is included in the standard setup rather than charged as an extra. Send the spelling exactly as you want it — in English, Bengali script, or both — when you book. We cut the lettering and mount it on the flower panel.
A decorated high chair for babies who can sit up steadily, or a low cushioned seat on a decorated platform for smaller ones. Tell us the child's age when you book. The chair height matters more than families expect — too high and the ritual photos are taken looking up, which never works.
We arrive two to three hours before the muhurat and finish before the priest and guests come. Annaprashan timings tend to be early morning, so we plan for a pre-dawn start when the muhurat needs it. Give us the exact timing when you book.
