Namkaran Puja is the traditional Hindu naming ceremony performed to formally give a name to a newborn child. It is one of the important Sanskars (rites of passage) in Hindu culture, usually conducted on the 11th, 12th, or 13th day after birth, or on a suitable auspicious date as per the family priest or astrologer.
This ritual not only gives the child an identity but also involves invoking blessings from the divine, ancestors, and elders for a healthy, happy, and successful life. The name is typically chosen based on the baby’s nakshatra (birth star) or astrological chart, ensuring it aligns with their cosmic energy and future growth.
