This study explores the levels of awareness regarding pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care among women in District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, considering the regional dynamics and cultural influences. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between August 2023 and November 2023 in District Mandi.

Descriptive statistics and scoring were employed for data analysis. Results: Of the 400 participants, 67.5% were from rural areas.
