               Magars follow Buddhism with priest called Bhusal, the social process of Sanskritization has drawn some southern Magar population to develop a syncretic form of Hinduism that combines animist and Buddhist rituals.

While birth pollution is observed for 5-6 days, it maybe for a period of 11 days in another. Hinduised Pun Magar do this ritual the hinduistic way and thus call in Brahmin priest and other use their own Dhami or Jhankri to perform the necessary activities like the Chhaiti on the sixth day where the belief is that the god of destiny arrives and writes the destiny of the child on its forehead. Thus they maintain a whole nightlong vigil and in the process sing devotional religious and traditional songs. The ones who remain till the morning are presented (Daan)food, alcohol and money, which are laid out on a Nanglo meaning-winnowing fan. Next step is the Navran, which is when the child receives its name and is, made ritually pure along with its mother and the whole household. On this day the calculations are made using the time of birth, date and such data, and then the zodiac is determined. After this the childs name is selected and Navran is over. It is only after the Navran that the child is allowed to wear proper stitched clothes. The initial rice feeding ceremony or Pasni (Bhat Khulai-First rice taken by Child) involves the child to be bathed in sunpani (water through which gold has been passed) followed by the feeding of the rice, milk, yogurt and meat as well.
