The puberty ceremony is a traditional practice followed in some Hindu families to mark a girl’s transition into womanhood, and while it is cultural in nature, many of its practices can be understood with scientific reasoning. As girls today often attain puberty at an earlier age, it is important to prepare them mentally and physically for the changes they experience. The ritual bath using repeated pouring of water helps regulate body temperature, promotes blood circulation, and provides a calming effect on the nervous system, which can reduce stress during this sensitive phase.Facing east during the ceremony aligns with exposure to early sunlight, which supports circadian rhythm and vitamin D synthesis. The use of turmeric has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help maintain skin hygiene and prevent infections.This reflect an early understanding of hygiene, mental well-being, and emotional reassurance during the puberty stage.
