Nazrah's Mandi Belawat ceremony

Last Sunday afternoon, we all went to Ngangah's in-laws in Kampong Perpindahan Lambak Kiri to attend baby Nazrah's Mandi Belawat ceremony. We may have explained about this earlier when posting cousin Lizam's ceremony, but basically this ceremony is especially for first time mothers. A group of people are invited to recite the 'zikir' prayers while family members and friends sprinkle 'bunga rampai' (Malay potpourri) to the new mother and her baby.

We are very glad to see baby Nazrah wearing the gown and headband that mummy bought for her from Brisbane.. but with new looks after Ngangah and her hubby added on beautiful beads on them! Both mother and baby looked beautiful. Congratulations Ngangah and family!
