A. Am Brahmin and we have the ritual either to 1.drain the shaded umbilical cord in running water like sea or water fall or running dam water etc....it is said that baby stay hydrated 2. or throw the cord in the bamboo bushes...the reason behind this is to grow the dynasty.... All this is just old ritual there is nothing science behind this....So it depends on you what you wanna do....My did what my mother in law suggested....I did just for her happiness

A. it is advisable to discard the umbilical cord because it can lead to secondary infections. also it may lead to to abnormal pungent smell and insects accumulation. . . .

A. There is no Ritual associated with it and you know different communities have different things associated with that but in general there is no ritual as far as I know you can just keep it for yourself you don’t like it is your child score so you can just keep it with you otherwise there is no ritual associated with it
