Procedure of Namkaran Puja
The ceremony begins with Gauri Ganesh Puja, followed by Kalash Puja and Punyaha Vachanam. After this, the pandit performs the main Namkaran ritual by softly whispering the chosen name into the baby’s right ear while chanting sacred Vedic mantras. A Havan is also performed for Graha Shanti, to remove any negative planetary effects from the child’s horoscope and to bless the baby with good health and prosperity.
