Frequently asked questions

On which day is Naamkaran done?

Tradition holds it on the 11th or 12th day after birth. The first auspicious date after the sutak period is also used.

How is the first letter of the name chosen?

The first syllable comes from the pada of the birth nakshatra. Our nakshatra calculator shows it.

How should I fix the final date?

This list follows general Panchang rules. Before fixing the date, confirm it with your family priest against the horoscopes of the people involved.

How these dates are chosen

For each day, from sunrise to the next sunrise, the exact change times of tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and Moon sign come from NASA JPL DE440s ephemeris calculations with the Lahiri ayanamsa. They are matched to the purpose's rules, and Bhadra, Vyatipata, Vaidhriti, Rahu Kaal and Yamaganda are removed.

Whole days ruled out
Chaturmas, Kharmas, Guru or Shukra asta, Adhik Maas (by purpose)
Extra weight
Sarvartha Siddhi, Amrit Siddhi, Guru Pushya, Ravi Pushya, Abhijit Muhurat, Shukla Paksha
Personal (optional)
