Namkaran Sanskar or the Naming Ceremony of a child is considered an important ritual as per Hindu belief. It is one of the 16 significant sanskars mentioned in the Hindu scriptures that are believed to be carried out to ensure a person’s safety and wellbeing. The naming ceremony is considered significant as the name is the first and greatest identity of a child.

As per Hindu scriptures, one’s name possesses significant energy that allows a person to resonate with the cosmic energy which further aids in the comprehensive growth of the person in both spiritual and materialistic realms. As namkaran sanskar is the first ritual to be performed for the child, it should be observed on the auspicious muhurat.
