Summary
To celebrate his sixth day of life, this baby's hair was ritualistically shaved. It is one of 16 samskara in a Hindu's life. It is not mandatory like most sanskar, but is typically practiced as a rite of passage. The haircut may occur few days after the birth or months later.
The black liner on his eyes is kajol, which many Indians believe to be protective. The new mother is wearing her wedding sari, and throughout the night, she spoke with well-wishers, watched the performances and discreetly breastfed.
