About Namakaran
Namakaran is the Hindu naming ceremony, traditionally held on the 11th or 12th day after birth. The first sound of the name is chosen from the Janma Nakshatra and its pada (quarter), as each of the 27 nakshatras is divided into 4 padas, each with an assigned syllable. A name beginning with the correct syllable is believed to align the child with their birth star\'s positive energy.
