In some families, they hang a straw rope across above the gate announcing the birth of a new baby. If the baby is a son, they hang hot peppers from the rope and if a daughter, some bars of charcoal.

When a baby is born to a family, the parents hang a straw rope across the gate on which various ornaments are hung according to the gender of the child. If a son is born to the family, the rope is decorated with hot peppers; if a daughter is born, the rope is adorned with charcoal.

There is a tradition in some families that is to hang some hot peppers when a boy is borne and to hang some chacoal bars when a girl is borne.
