Today was my formal naming ceremony - the 28th day. For the first time I was allowed to put a pottu (bindi) on my forehead and then one by one everyone in the family put gold jewellery on me.
This was followed by Dadda whispering my name 'Tanya' in both my ears, 3 times each using a betal leaf. And of course then came the usual 'family picture time' :)
Now I'm officially and religiously 'Tanya'!
