The rite is performed on the 8th day of the child. The ceremony takes place in the morning. An elderly person of good moral standard is chosen to perform the rites.Libation is offered while the child's name is being mentioned simultaneously.
Water is sprinkled on the named child.After, the child is given sugar to taste. If the child is a boy,it is given gin or schnapps to taste.
