Gubbi Chattu – A Traditional Postnatal Gift, Preserved by Namma Choice

✨ Introduction

In the vibrant cultural fabric of Karnataka and parts of Maharashtra, "Gubbi Chattu" holds a sacred yet quiet place. It's not widely spoken of, not found on commercial shelves, and certainly not mass-produced. But for generations, this soft, symbolic postnatal gift has been woven into tradition — passed on by grandmothers, mothers, and village elders with deep emotion.

At Namma Choice, we are honored to revive and offer this rare tradition — a small item with great cultural warmth.

๐ŸŒฟ What is Gubbi Chattu?

Gubbi Chattu (or เฒ—ುเฒฌ್เฒฌಿ เฒšเฒŸ್เฒŸು in Kannada) is a delicate, cloth-wrapped piece traditionally gifted only after the birth of a baby. It symbolizes:

Protection from negativity and harsh weather.

Warmth and softness for the newborn.

Blessings and good fortune for both baby and mother.


This is not a seemanta gift (which is offered during pregnancy). Gubbi Chattu is specifically given after childbirth, usually by elders in the family or community.

๐Ÿ“œ Cultural Significance

Not commercial: It is not commonly sold in markets. Most people today have never heard of it.

Oral tradition: The knowledge of Gubbi Chattu has survived mostly through oral storytelling, not books or shops.

Hand-prepared: Usually handmade using cotton, with specific ways of wrapping it — often using soft cloth or even a coconut fiber interior in some cases.
