Question

What are the traditions about baby shower and baby gifts giving in India?

Answer 1

I don't know much, but here is what I found:

"Among Hindus in India, religious rituals resembling modern baby showers are held during the seventh month of pregnancy. In earlier times it was a function which was organized and attended by women only, but in recent years, due to India's level of western influence, both genders are often included."
