Pumsavana Simantonayana (Sanskrit: पुंसवन सीमन्तोन्नयन, romanized: Puṃsavana Sīmantonnayana) is a combined performance of the two Hindu rites of Pumsavana and Simantonnayana (Also called Srimantham), practised during the contemporary period.[1]
Both form a part of the prenatal rituals, part of samskara (rites of passage) in the Hindu tradition. These rituals are observed in India by the pregnant mother and father of the child, during the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy.[2][3][4]
