Re: A question about culture (what does string around the waist mean?)

" The Indian culture has prescribed RITUALS AND RITES OF PASSAGE at various phases of an infant's development. When the child has lived for a full lunar phase (28 days), this is celebrated by tying a protective yantra or blessed charm (tali) around the child's waist with a string which may be changed to a gold chain after six months."
This is a general Hindu/Vedic/Asian Indian thing. Not necessarily anything to do with their caste/class.
