Naming ceremony or Namkaran is a ritual of selecting a newborn’s name using traditional methods and following the astrological rules of naming. Naming ceremony or Namkaran is usually performed on the 11th day after birth, though Naming ceremony or Namkaran varies from region to region. Another significant part of this ritual is the Cradle ceremony which is also called Palanarohan/Punya dhanam where the baby is put in the cradle. The mother and father in the presence of a priest performs the ritual with prayers and mantra chanting to the Gods, Agni, the god of fire, the elements, and the spirits of the ancestors. Rice grains are spread on a bronze ‘thali’ and the father writes the chosen name in Naming ceremony or Namkaran while chanting the God’s name. Then he whispers the name into the child’s right ear, repeating it four times along with a prayer. This is followed by the blessings of the elders along with gifts, and the ritual ends with a feast with family and friends. Usually, the family astrologer also presents the child’s horoscope on this occasion. You can easily hire a Pujari or pandit for naming ceremony in Chennai online.
