Birthday traditions in india - a place with over billion people; In India, where Hindu is the most common religion -  it is customary for a child celebrating his first birthday to have his head shaved. This act symbolizes the shedding of negative energies associated with past lives.

First birthday in india, the birthday child is adorned in bright clothing (although india as a whole has lot more colors than other parts of the world in clothing) and hands out chocolates to all of his schoolmates. The children kneel at their parents' feet as a sign of respect. And the celebration also includes visiting a shrine for a special prayer.

    India has a bright culture overall; on all celebrations they wear beautiful cloths that come in many colors.  Shaving head for the first birth day was very common in the olden days but these days, they buy them their first bottle of hairstyle gel.  Go bollywood go.
