Namkaran Muhurat 2026: Auspicious Dates For Naming Ceremony

Namkaran, or naming ceremony, is one of the sixteen Hindu Samskaras, and it is traditionally performed on the 11th or 12th day after a baby’s birth. Importantly, the Muhurat, meaning the most favorable time, is calculated based on planetary positions, Nakshatras, and Tithis to ensure cosmic harmony.

Think of a name as a Mantra that will be repeated for a lifetime, as whenever the name of your child is called out, the universe listens to it carefully and returns as vibrations influencing their life. Thus, when the name is chosen during an auspicious Muhurat, it magnifies positive energies.

The blessings include emotional stability, educational and career success, fulfilling relationships, and spiritual protection and guidance. Let’s find out the good dates for the naming ceremony in 2026.
