About Name Ceremony (Naamkaranam)

Naamkaranam is the sacred Hindu naming ceremony performed to officially name a newborn. This beautiful ritual celebrates the baby's arrival and seeks divine blessings for a prosperous, healthy life. The name is chosen based on the child's birth star (nakshatra) and Rashi. The ceremony includes chanting of auspicious mantras, writing the name on rice/turmeric, and the symbolic whispering of the name in the baby's ear. It's a joyous family celebration marking the child's social introduction.

Naamkaranam is traditionally performed on the 11th, 21st, or 101st day after birth, though it can be done earlier or later based on family customs and circumstances. Auspicious nakshatras and tithis are consulted for the ceremony date.
