In the middle of the circle there is tumpeng rice and also other snacks made by the residents in mutual cooperation. There are customs of some communities, that is, where the reading of Berzanji is done simultaneously with moving it on the newly shaved baby one round in a circle.

While the clothes and cloth of the people who have held the baby, then given a spray or drops of perfumed oil.
