Punsavan Sanskar Puja – Vedic Ritual for Safe Pregnancy & Healthy Childbirth. Punsavan Sanskar is the second of Hinduism's 16 samskaras (rites of passage), performed in the second or third month of pregnancy to ensure the physical and mental well-being of the unborn child and the mother. This sacred Vedic ritual involves specific pujas, Vedic mantras, and havans (fire sacrifices) to seek divine blessings for a healthy development, protection from miscarriage, and to direct the fetus towards a righteous path.
