But the blueprint to have the “perfect" progeny also includes Sanskar Vidhi, a three-stage havan over nine months. Referenced heavily from Charak Samhita, the ancient Ayurveda scripture, the kendra has a strict programme under which couples must adopt a regulated diet, drink medicinal concoctions and make yoga intrinsic to their lifestyle. The kendra’s director, Karishma Mohandas Narwani, claims that even if a couple is short, dark in complexion, and, of average intelligence, their child could be taller, fairer, and possibly a “genius", if the couple follows their programme. Headquartered in Jamnagar since 2004, it has 10 centres across India (seven of which are in Gujarat, including Gandhidham and Surat). The Gediyas are the newest entrants to the Garbhvigyan Anusandhan Kendra, which guarantees that it can help young couples produce “super" babies. A few feet away from the cottages-which are surrounded by tall trees and a family of herbal plants: tulsi, jambura, and nirgudi-is a platform under a thatched roof, where havans are performed regularly and gods invoked in order to call upon the surrounding “divine spirits" (in the form of children) to take seat in a woman’s womb, as well as to later “assist" in the nourishment of the foetus.
