Meaning of Naming Ceremony Muhurat

The Namakaran ceremony, one of the sixteen Sanskaras, is a significant Hindu ritual in which a newborn baby is formally given a name. It is typically performed when the baby is around 10 to 12 days old and after the sutak period (impure period) ends following childbirth.

During the baby namakaran ceremony, special prayers (havan and puja) are performed for the baby’s good health and overall well-being. The chosen name is believed to shape the child’s destiny and future.
