there is a merit making by offering food to monks then followed by a Brahman ceremony that starts by striking a gong of history exactly at the auspicious time. The chairman of the ceremony touches a holy water on to the child's head then uses a razor to touch the hair as if he is shaving the child's hair. The monks perform a Jayanto Pray to bless the child. A Brahman priest hits a Ban Dor (small drum used in Brahmin rites), then the Pin Pat (gamelan orchestra) and Mahoree (Thai orchestra) plays their songs to bless the child
