A month after the baby is born, he will be dressed anew and taken outside by the family. They will go to worship in the temple first and then visit some relatives or friends considered lucky. Usually some soot from the bottom of a cooking pot will be applied to the tip of the baby's nose, to prevent him from being recognized by evil spirits. As to the baby's name, usually the parents will take the baby to a Living Buddha (Rinpoche) or a high lama in one of the temples with Khatag and some offerings. The name that is given will be one chosen from Buddhism or the title of the living Buddha or high lama. The name can be changed later if the child is ever subject to misfortune of any kind. In the past, in the case of an upper class child, the Living Buddha cut off a small cluster of hair from the top of the baby's head as a sign of his ordination. Some respected old people in the village are also often invited to name the baby. Such ceremonies are less religious and also follow the will of the parents.
