About The Ceremony
What is Namkaran Sanskar?
Namkaran Sanskar (also called Naamkaran, Naamkaran Sanskar, Baby Naming Ceremony, Namkaran Puja or Naam Karan) is one of the sixteen sacred Shodash Sanskars (life-cycle rituals) in Hindu tradition. It is the ceremony in which a newborn baby is formally given a name — a name chosen based on the baby’s birth nakshatra, rashi and family gotra, as per Vedic astrology. The ceremony is performed to invoke divine blessings for the baby’s health, longevity, wisdom, prosperity and overall well-being.
Whether you are celebrating the Namkaran Sanskar of your newborn in Hiranandani Estate, performing the Jaatkarm Sanskar at your home in Majiwada, planning the Chudakarana (Mundan) in Naupada, or organising the Annaprashan ceremony in Kapurbawdi, a qualified Namkaran pandit in Thane guides you through the complete vidhi — ganesh sthapana, kalash sthapana, name selection based on nakshatra, name whispered in the baby’s ear, havan, aarti and blessings — so the ceremony is performed correctly, completely and at the most auspicious muhurat.

- Traditional timing — the 11th or 12th day after birth is considered most auspicious for Namkaran

- Family gotra and tradition
- Position of the Moon and planets on the chosen date
- Favourable nakshatras such as Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati, Hasta and Ashwini

A Helpful Guide
Complete Guide to Namkaran Sanskar in Thane
Namkaran Sanskar — also called Naamkaran, Baby Naming Ceremony, Naam Karan or Naamkaran Puja — is one of the most joyful and sacred ceremonies in a Hindu family’s life. It marks the formal giving of a name to the newborn — a name chosen based on the baby’s birth nakshatra, rashi and family gotra, as per Vedic astrology.

Why Namkaran Sanskar is Important
According to Hindu tradition, a name is not just a label — it is a vibration that influences the child’s life. The Shodash Sanskars (16 life-cycle rituals) prescribe the Namkaran as the second major sanskar after Jaatkarm. The name chosen based on the birth nakshatra is believed to align the child with positive cosmic energies, bring divine blessings and set the foundation for a happy, healthy and prosperous life. The ceremony also marks the baby’s formal entry into the family and society, with blessings from elders, relatives and the divine.
Nakshatra-based Name Selection
Each of the 27 nakshatras has specific starting syllables for the baby’s name — this is a key part of the Namkaran vidhi. Some examples:
- Ashwini → Chu, Che, Cho, La
- Bharani → Li, Lu, Le, Lo
- Krittika → A, Ee, U, Ea
- Rohini → O, Va, Vi, Vu
- Mrigashira → Ve, Vo, Ka, Ke
- Ardra → Ku, Gha, Ng, Chh
- Punarvasu → Ke, Ko, Ha, Hi
- Pushya → Hu, He, Ho, Da
- Ashlesha → Di, Du, De, Do
- Magha → Ma, Mi, Mu, Me
- Uttara Phalguni → Ta, Ti, Tu, Te
- Hasta → Pu, Sha, Na, Tha
- Chitra → Pe, Po, Ra, Ri
- Swati → Ru, Re, Ro, Ta
- Vishakha → Ti, Tu, Te, To
- Anuradha → Na, Ne, Nu, Ne
- Jyeshtha → No, Ya, Yi, Yu
