Namkaran Sanskar
Namkaran Puja is one of the 16 Sanskar in Hindu and a sacred Hindu naming ceremony performed for a newborn baby. This important Samskara is conducted to officially give the child a name, according to the baby’s Janam Nakshatra. The ritual is believed to play a vital role in shaping the child’s personality, destiny, and spiritual growth.

Muhurat for Namkaran Puja
Namkaran Puja or the Hindu naming ceremony is ideally performed on the 11th day after childbirth, at an auspicious Muhurat suggested by a Poojat pandit.
Fasting Guidlines
Fasting is not mandatory for Namkaran Pooja, but please consult Pandit for local tradition
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.

- Helps in performing Graha Shanti to reduce the effects of Graha Dosh.
- Brings positive energy, protection, and divine blessings for the child’s healthy future.
