    If delivery is normal, then it is a laid down procedure that after naming ceremony takes place (11th day), the family goes to nearby temple....
    If delivery is cesarian then only after 16th day, the procedures are followed...
    As those days are considered as Theetu for the mother who has delivered, these procedures were laid down in Manusmrithi....
    Thanks
