170 auspicious days · computed from tithi, nakshatra and vaar
Naamkaran gives the child their formal name, classically on the 11th or 12th day after birth. The name’s first syllable is traditionally drawn from the pada of the child’s birth nakshatra, tying identity to the sky at the moment of arrival.
Avoid Amavasya, Rikta tithis, and Tuesdays and Saturdays. Eclipse days are excluded.

If the ceremony must fall outside the classical 11th–12th day window, any qualifying day below works. The syllable for the name comes from the child’s nakshatra pada, not from the ceremony date.
These are general (public) muhurats based on the panchang — the same basis almanacs publish. A complete muhurat also weighs your own chart: Tara Bala, Chandra Bala, and the strength of the relevant house. Timings shown are computed for New Delhi; for other cities see the local panchang.
Ask our AI Vedic astrologer whether a specific date suits your birth chart — Tara Bala, Chandra Bala, and the house involved. 5 free questions every month.
