Baby Nadine Cukur

Jambul Ceremony.
POSTED ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2012 BY IYPHOTOGRAPHY
Cukur Jambul is a ceremony for the baby’s very first haircut, done in accordance with Malay
tradition. It is an important ceremony and it’s also an occasion for the families to get together,
have fun and also to welcome the new baby to the family. They are many other cultures that
practice this ritual for babies. It is usual done after a mother’s confinement period with is around
40-45 days. Some even have the ceremony after the baby is 3 to 5 months old, which is pretty
much common now in the modern days. Mostly the ceremony is held at home, served with
delicious Malaysian local food like Nasi Briyani, Beef Rendang, Chicken cooked in sweet sour
sause, delicacies and more. That’s why i love my job! I can eat those food after work. Hehehe.

Cukur Jambul ceremony usually begins in the morning or afternoon with a reading from the
Quran, also know as the Marhaban. The father or mother then carries the baby to each person who
will snip off a little of the baby hair or sometimes, shaved. Usually it is done by the grandparents,
family or some closed friends, and members of the Marhaban . It is customary for those who do
the honours to present the baby with a little gift in cash or kind. The snips of hair are put into a
coconut that is cut and shaped into a bowl. Once the ceremony ends, this hair is then buried. Guest
will get a special door gift from the host, which is the Bunga Telur, a hardboiled egg enclosed
within a single flower. But now days, they give out sweets, cookies, cup cakes or yellow sticky
rice. I like! Love my job so much!

I would like to thank my senior photographer, Nazir Azhari, for giving me an opportunity to
experience this beautiful ceremony. And Baby Nadine Soraya is too cute! I felt like wanna chew
her fluffy cheeks! And also many thanks to the family for their warm and friendly hospitality. I
 really enjoy myself there. Hope i can experience other culture baby full moon party. It’s going to
be interesting and fun!
