Uyyala Function is the day a newborn is placed in a decorated cradle for the first time. Sumangalis decorate the cradle with flowers, ribbons, and traditional motifs, sing the uyyala paatalu (cradle lullabies), and gently rock the baby to sleep. Many Telugu families hold the Uyyala Function on the same day as Namakaranam (the naming ceremony), most often the 11th, 12th, or 21st day after birth. The room is usually full of women: mother, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, female cousins.
The day is built around the mother and the baby. The mother is still in her post-natal recovery period, so the meal is sattvic and on the lighter side, often with a separate set of dishes prepared just for her. Close family, the priest, a few neighbours. Headcount typically 25 to 150 plates. Many families bundle Uyyala with Namakaranam on a single quote since both ceremonies usually happen back to back.
