Understanding the Meaning of Namkaran Ceremony

The Namkaran ritual is traditionally performed on the 11th or 12th day after birth, but parents can also choose another auspicious muhurat based on astrology. The name given to the child carries spiritual energy and shapes personality, behavior, and destiny. That is why selecting a name under a favorable muhurat is considered very important in Hindu tradition.
