Birth and Naming Ceremony

What are the main points of the ceremony?

  1. A gold pen (?) dipped in a honey, and the Aum symbol is drawn on the tongue of the child.

    The child has his/her hair shaven off, this signifies the removal of pollution.

    The mother is given new clothes, this represents purity.

    The child's name is revealed and drawn from the horoscopes.

    There are a couple of others, but these are the ones that I remember.
