-'''Putrakameshti''' is a special [[Yajna (यज्ञः)|Yajna]] performed in Hinduism for the sake of having a male child/son. It is a [[kaamya-karma]].
+Putrakameshti is a special kind of Ishti (a type of yajna) performed in ancient days in Bharatavarsha for the sake of having a male child/son. It is a [[kaamya-karma]]. In the early stages of Bharatiya society, the concept of having the son stems from the fact that protection of family depended upon the male members. At the same time issuelessness was unbearable causing severe mental affliction. [[Putra (पुत्रः)]] or the son thus has a significant place in society.
