According to Hindu tradition, the name given to a child carries a unique energy that connects them with the appropriate cosmic vibrations. This connection supports the child’s overall growth, both materially and spiritually. Hinduism prescribes several important rituals throughout life, beginning at birth, and one of the most significant is the Naming Ceremony (Namkaran). This ceremony is performed at home to officially name the child and welcome them into the family and community.
Traditional naming ceremonies are believed to help the child attain respect, good social standing, and recognition as they grow. For every ritual, however, selecting the correct Muhurat is essential to ensure the ceremony’s positive impact. In this guide, we provide the auspicious dates and timings for your child’s Namkaran ceremony in 2026.
If you are unsure about how to perform the naming ceremony correctly, it is advisable to consult an experienced astrologer
